Here they are, it took a week for them to arrive but they did arrive and were well packaged.
I really dont know how they will do in this wet weather we cant seem to get rid of.
They can stay in the greenhouse for now.

I love clematis. I’m very fortunate that my neighbors have one growing on our shared fence and it favors our side! It hasn’t flowered yet but I’ll take a photo when it does. It’s a purple shade and well established.

I used to have two of them, real beauties. Then the guys replacing our balcony door moved the planter and destroyed them. I was really sad about loosing them.
Then I planted two new ones two years ago, but they were eaten by some pest.
So now I am hoping that the third time will do the trick.

Ya’ll want some real ones?
In my 3 years in the desert, I have yet to see a single scorpion or snake.
…but good GOD, I have so many fucking black widows. There’s at least a few living on the underside of my greenhouse tables - I leave them for the lizards. My laundry shack is always good for a few. Thankfully they’re never actually IN my house.
They are the reason why I keep a blowtorch on hand. I have to cook a few a week, usually.
When I was in San Diego over the weekend, I got a notification from my motion-activated cameras.
Fuckin’ black widow was building a web on my camera! Wish I could share the video itself, creepy as all hell.

Jesus T, I couldn’t cope. That film arachnophobia still scares me. I seriously wouldn’t go in the yard.
