Grain Bin Flowers

 The flowers by the grain bin are in full bloom.

Clematis paniculata or Sweet Virgin's Bower.


This is a very old plant...most likely about 23 years old.   It likes this spot!  It started with one small cutting from Faye.   It climbs up a section of wire. 


It will also grow as a ground cover.   Seeds have spread over the years and took over this spot near the grain bin. 


We had a couple of quiet days, Far Guy woodcarving on Christmas Ornaments...I carved one yesterday ...my thumb is just not ready and it begins to hurt.   So I crochet instead.

    It's a pretty flower. I think we have it around here, too, but we mostly call them "pretty white flowers" because it's hard to identify them.

    What a pretty plant. You have to love something so hardy that it grew from one tiny cutting to something so lush.

    I wonder, does it smell as pretty as it looks? I bet it is a good bee magnet.

    That is definitely a happy plant. So pretty and delicate. I'm sorry your thumb is still painful but crocheting is a great pass-time!
    Blessings,

    Wow, this plant is impressive! I've never kept a clematis alive for more than a few years.

    It is a great clematis. Being a shared plant makes it special. My one clematis is not budded yet.
