Clemats ‘Pixie’
My sweet little fragrant New Zealand Clematis ‘Pixie’ opened it’s first flower the other day, crying Seattle raindrop tears, and now sports several more blooms. Pixie is the only clematis currently blooming in my garden (other than that cock-eyed out-of-sync Clematis cirrhosa ‘Freckles’ described in an earlier post).

But which spring-blooming clematis will be next? Four or five Clematis alpinas and Clematis macropetalas are budded up and ready to burst. My treasured Clematis koreana seedling (see last post) is in the running, too, with its little bud swelling a bit more every day. And Clematis montana ‘Vera’, 40’ up a 90’ Port Orford Cedar, should be showing off any time now, draping the tree with festoons of pink.
