Took these shots this morning, we're supposed to hit 90-91 today.

I planted Rose (Rosa 'Ghislaine de Feligonde') two years ago, it's surely hit it's stride!


My Romantika clematis from Brushwood is also 2 years old, planted with Poet's Jasmine (Jasminum officinale Fiona Sunrise) who's gold foliage really sets off that deep purple.

Now earlier shots of Caramella showed it over 6 feet tall, I didn't cut anything back this past winter. Between some windy days and the weight of the huge clusters of blooms, you can see right in the center of the bush were the thick stems are bent over. A week ago, everything was standing up just like that one section on the far left.
