For anyone who attended the meeting in June, when Cheryl Monroe spoke about clematis, you will remember that after her talk, the room was abuzz with excitement. Between some beautiful slides featuring a wide variety of the species and in-person examples that were passed around, attendees were ready right then and there to add a clematis to every rose bush in their yards.

Whether or not you attended that meeting, you should take a look at this slideshow. Some of these clematis are less commonly seen (okay, not ‘Polish Spirit’). I may need to find a spot for a couple or three.
