First day of a new month

Welcome to September.

Had a nice surprise yesterday when I walked out the front door and found that my Jackmanii had blossomed - for the first time in at least 6 years! What a fabulous gift.

The poor thing is planted in the wrong sort of light, and while it grows like mad, it hasn't produced a bloom in quite a while. I had thoughts of moving the clematis this year to the backyard, where the sunlight arrives early and seems to dawdle longer, so that it would have more time in the sun (and would not be in the shade of a large tree, either), but I never got around to it. Quite honestly, the place I would like to put it is still not ready for it, either.

At any rate, it has blossomed, and I am enjoying the show.

Have a great day!
