Now that's a cottage welcome!
Nelly Moser's irresistible with her lush, exuberant growth and amazing blooms. My smile is an ear-to-ear grin whenever I walk by. Even if my front door still isn't farmhouse green...yet.
I'm seeing the world through my rose-colored glasses as I move through my garden. Every day brings a new treasure to enjoy., but Nelly Moser is definitely the star of the garden. Last week there was only a single blossom promising delights to come.
Now? Oh my gosh--how many clematis blossoms can you put on one plant?
And they're HUGE. As beautiful close up as they are from the front walk.
If I was a flower fairy, I'd surely choose a clematis vine to nap in. I'd wrap myself in one of the two-toned petals and nod off as the breezes gently rocked me. And I'd pluck the silky seed balls each autumn to spin my winter blanket from.
Sweet garden dreams, my friends.
Wishing you joy,
And Show and Tell at My Romantic Home, of course!
As well as my newly found Fresh-Cut Fridays over at Rose Vignettes!
that is a beautiful clematis. The previous owner of our house planted one and this is the first spring of the past three we have lived here that is has bloomed so I could finally see what color it was and it's a pinkish-purple. I hope to post pictures of it next week. Love the stripes on yours though.
ReplyDeleteThe color of that clematis is outstanding. Thanks for the name of my bush....Bridal Veil. I appreciate it, Linda
ReplyDeleteYour clematis makes me smile as well, and I hope your farmhouse dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteAs for the baby bird, I am pretty sure that what hooked me on your blog was a hilarious post YOU did about raising a baby bird.Oh, the trials of motherhood, those 4:00 feedings, the lack of sleep, the constant cheep, cheep, cheeping! I must go dig into your blog and find that post.
I found it, it was EAST,the baby sparrow.!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Your Clematis is perfection! It just screams, "Look at me, I'm sooooo pretty!"
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the garden party,

Your Nellie Moser is gorgeous--look at those huge flowers! Must make it fun to walk up to the front door every day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog, and I will visit your blog again!
I love clematis and have been thinking of finding room for another one. I will remember this variety. So pretty!
