About three or four years ago I planted two clematis plants in front of a trellis that had come from my mother-in-law's home.

Today I counted 47 open flowers on the two vines. There were also partially open flowers and many unopened buds. These have been so beautiful and yet little upkeep at all. All I have had to do in two years is keep them watered and tied to the trellis.

They were so pretty this year that I bought two more plants for two additional trellis that were empty in my back yard. They will have white flowers. I put them on either side of the purple ones that were in the center of the back yard beds.

When plants are this easy to care for, I want to have dozens. When they have to be weeded, fertilized and pruned often, then I want to stop adding plants. I just want to enjoy their loveliness and not be a slave to them.
