Random Reflections
The
Glorious Garden – Mrs. Cholmondeley Clematis
 |
| The camera flash made this bluer than it really appears |
I
love clematis. They are so full and beautiful and I love how they climb up a
trellis. This clematis has amazing large lavender flowers. This one is quite
hearty and last year bloomed in the spring and fall. I helped the stems start
up the trellis is multiple places so it wasn’t one-sided. I planted this in
full sun and it thrives. The soil is pretty good and doesn’t hold water – good
drainage. The height can be up to 300 cm. and will spread up to 100 cm. The tag
said to prune it in February or March, but here it depends on the weather. This
plant does flower from May until about September.
Irksome Ideas and Images
I
always dread the Fourth of July. This is a three-day period where people enjoy
shooting off fireworks, which terrify my dogs. I hate trying to calm them down
and reassure them that it is okay.
I
also have an unrealistic fear of fire. I read a newspaper article last year
that said that a house was set on fire by a fireworks display. That is my worst
nightmare.
During
my childhood, one of our neighbors lost their home and children to a fire. I
know that this was the catalyst for my fear of a blaze. I would enjoy fireworks
a lot more if people would not do them in a neighborhood, but in an open area
where no one would be affected.
Let’s
have a safe Fourth of July!
