Flowers of August

Well it has been a great day to take pictures. You can see them in this Picasaweb Album. I also finished the Edible Blue Honeysuckle harvest. There are pictures over on that blog.

Clematis seedling displays first flower in captivity

I transplanted several Clematis seedlings to a terrarium last winter to let them grow larger while being able to observe them. One of those bloomed this week. The seed is from the British Clematis Society - a herbaceous mix. I am told on the Gardenbuddies Clematis forum that it is likely a Clematis crispa.



I am amazed at how small it is and so perfect. Less than an inch either way.

The remaining plant is a Clematis cirrhosa and it is growing like mad but no sign of buds so far.
