{Our Lilac Clematis 'Silver Moon'}

A FREE gift from the birds by seed spreading, is this gorgeous LILAC CLEMATIS 'Silver Moon!
Very large blooms in perfect Lilac!
Are those huge flowers not lovely?
Photos are taken on April 12...
Husband Pieter did make this bamboo trellis for them and spray painted it green.
Those petals indeed look like silver...
When just opening up they are of a darker shade lilac; quite stunning!
We have two of these Clematis, here shown back to back in their pots.
Do you have any Clematis?

  3. Hello my dear friend Mariette,
    This post is awesome, what a fantastic gift from the birds, your Clematis looks great, I love the color and with that trellis they will be secure always. I don't have any Clematis, but it is on my list maybe for the near future. Here everything is still cold and all I have are Tulips, Narcissus and Hyacinth, looking forward for warmer temperatures and more flowers. Send you a big hug with lots of love,
    Laura

  6. Ze zien er prachtig uit, we hadden ooit een clematis tegen een muur voor ons huis, maar we zijn niet zo consequent in het verzorgen van planten, dus hij is niet meer....

  13. Your silver moon is beautiful! They sure are perfect blooms. What a wonderful gift from birds :-) We once had sunflower growing in the back of house. I think it came from bird seed I put out for birds.
    The bamboo trellis looks lovely, too! Your husband Pieter keeps amazing me!

  14. Hello dearest Mariette
    Oh it is perfect - thanks to our dear feathered friends - they knew who would welcome and nurture these precious seeds!
    Pieter is a treasure making you so many things around the house and garden.
    My husband is only interested in boats and war history - I keep telling him he is 'two dimensional'! LOL!

    Wishing you a very happy May my sweet friend!

  15. Dear Mariette,

    Your lilac clematis is so very pretty and this really is a wonderful gifts from the birds spreading the seeds.
    We once had a pretty pale pink clematis at a house we owned at the back door and every time you went outside - the fragrance was beautiful.
    Happy weekend
    hugs

  16. Sweet little birdies to bring you such a beautiful gift. Lovely, large bloom.

    I don't know if my boss' brother was rushing. I imagine it was part of the reason for his fall. Everyone seems to rush through their days going from one thing to the next. It's not worth it. I've had quite a relaxing weekend. Just the way I like it.

    Have a super Saturday. Hugs, Tammy

  17. Clematis are so beautiful. We have to be careful here in Australia the we plant them where they have a cool root run.
