After weeks of veiled threats, taunts and imprications my clematis (John Paull II) has produced its one and only first ever flower. Only took two years -
"I've given you southern exposure
To get you to thrive
I've pinched you back hard
Like I'm s'posed ta
You're barely alive
I've tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud
I've given you grow-lights
And mineral supplements
What do you want from me, blood?"

@bluedragon such is the way with the clematis. flowers “next year” are your reward for patience.

@barbarakb this year one that had never done particularly well is full of bloom. The one that was really full of flowers last year is almost bare. Mysterious.
