Many of those little velvety blue blossoms nestled in the hot-red snapdragons. I was moving and each time I went through the front door or garden steps, I stopped and smelled them. Delicious!

Oh, the snapdragon, of course. The redhot dark red rocket snapdragon is my favorite flower smell. My white Clematis integrifolia alba, is very sweet smelling but this blue does not.

What a combination. My snaps are in bloom after my clematis, I love that deep red with the lavender blue.

Thank you Wells. Clematis integrifolia is a bush clematis that dies to the ground each year, so it blooms about 6 weeks after last frost and here stays blooming until it freezes in November. Smaller low blooms, but I love them, dainty little things. I also have a little white and will get again a red that I lost to winter :-)

Thank you. I wish I could say it was spring! I share the last of summer all winter, since it is so long, and have snow falling today on more snow. Not spring here til the ice breaks and that may be May this year....lol.
