    This is a 15 year old Climatis. The base is as big as my wrist.

    This is a yellow Alium that I transplanted last year. I have 4 of them planted on a bank along the driveway.

    This is my yellow Yarrow that is about 10 years old.

    And these are my 6 foot + lillys. When I stand on the ground the top of the deck rail is even with my head and I am 6 ft. tall. Can't wait untill they bloom in about a month.

    Blimey, that clematis is beautiful! Your allium and yarrow are as bright as the sun, and your lilies are very impressive. Well done!

    Oh that clematis is stunning. Do you know the name of it by any chance CK?

    My lilies have grown enormous this year too but your tops their height by about 12 inches. Mine are still in tight bud like yours so maybe they've still got some growing to do. :rolleyes:

    Oh I want a clematis! My neighbor across the street has a few and they're gorgeous :D I have a yellow yarrow too! I planted it last month, and I'm surprised at how long the flowers last on it! Through wind and heavy rain they last.
    I saw really, really tall lilies when I went to Chincoteague Island last year :) Ill have to post the pics

    I had yarrow in my previous yard and I regretted it. It seeded itself all over the lawn and I was pulling it up!
