{Our Lovely Lilac Clematis 'Silver Moon'}


  • Coming home from Curaçao, our garden had lots of surprises for us. One of them was our lovely lilac 'Clematis 'Silver Moon'. It is one of the large blooming varieties.


  • Perfect Lilac or Lavender Clematis 'Silver Moon' that spontaneously grew in our wood garden.
  • Maybe from seeds, spread by birds?
  • We got two vines now and they bloom very prolific.


  • These vines were kept in pots but are now ready to go to a permanent spot.


  • Bottom left you see a young Golden Live Oak 'Quercus Virginiana Grand View Gold' that we managed to grow from an acorn. Yesterday's post was about this rare golden variety.

As you can tell, there are also plenty of 'dollar' weeds growing.
So much for going away  for 11 days... Vacation is nice but you have to catch up later!
Have a great week ahead and may your spring be rewarding as well.

  11. Che meravigliosa tinta le tue clematis! sono piante così generose... chiedono poche cure, una mezza ombra e poco altro. E guarda che splendore! Le adoro.
    Un grande abbraccio e una felice settimana.
