    My Clematis have never bloomed this early before. Last fall the Snow Queens didn't bloom until almost the first freeze we had.

    I have forgotten the name of this one but it's pretty even without a name. It is climbing up my windmill out back and is about to be literally covered with blooms.

    They are beautiful! and i can imagine the color on the purple clementis. Looks like they are going to be eye popping bold when it is all bloomed out.

    Your indoor bloom is the most beautiful tho,,,,

    Gosh those clematis are early!! They are really lovely and my favourite colours too. :-D I have a feeling that your indoor bloom is going to be even more handsome as it matures.

    I thought they were earlier than normal, I hope they don't run out of energy early and stop blooming.

    My indoor bloom is 14 1/2 yrs old and is as polite as he is gorgeous.....a combo that will appeal to teenage girls and their parents.

    I love your blooms.I just moved all of my clemantis and as I was putting the last one in the ground the small tree swallow was making noise over my head to let me know he was back and wanted me to get away from his nesting area.

    Handsome indoor bloom you have there....
