$1.50 Clematis never planted, I’m not kidding either. You have to be hearty to grow in my part of the Oklahoma heat! I spent a small fortune when I first moved here and lost 5 trees, all my pines and shady flowers so I gave up. I saw this bucket of Clematis at Lowe’s and thought well let me take you home but I didn’t have the heart to plant another bush and watch it die. But guess what? It just started growing from the bucket….it clings to the cross I have next to my bird bath. I thought to myself this plant is like me in so many ways!

There’s something there….this is where I sit and pray btw. My view from my prayer bench!
