Some new pics of my native Texas Clematis... (now that l know what it is, l don't have to call it the 'workshop vine' anymore!?)...so awesome that it's just growing there and l didn't even have to plant it!

Nurture natives. Gardening made easy.

The most interesting thing about this one is that it survived having concrete poured on it! I figured the least l could do was help it out!?

Really interesting considering the hybrid ones we normally see here in Ohio.

Hybrid? You should share some pics! I would love to see them!?

Are you sure that's a Clematis? It looks a lot like a Workshop Vine. 😉

Cool! And beautiful.

Thanks! I wasn't sure what to expect when it first started growing. It's turned out to be quite lovely!?

Sweet, do they attract humming birds?

I'm not sure...this is the first year l've been tending to it. Have only seen (heard) 1 hummer so far and it wasn't near this plant...l suppose time will tell!

@Free_2B_Me We don't have humming birds in Hawaii, I do miss them. All we have is a moth that looks like them.

@Krypto-Knight Wow...l would think Hawaii would have tons of hummingbirds...? And yes, we have hummingbird moths here too. I see them occasionally...have some old pics somewhere...

@Free_2B_Me Unfortunetly Humming Birds havn't been able to make the flight over and they have strict laws regarding new species being brout in. Early on the mongoose was introduced to reduce rat population, they brought the kind. They brought in mongoose that hunt during the day, rats being night scavengers, the two never incounter eachother. Now we have a mongoose problem so they don't allow what they invasive species. If I could smuggle in a breeding pair I would.

@Krypto-Knight Very interesting information....l had no idea....

So no hummingbirds, but you have active volcanos...how's that going??

@Free_2B_Me it's really kinda annoying at this point. It started out exciting, there where the some incredible beauty awe struck times, but life has to go on. Now road blocks, roads gone, friends and neighbors left or leaving, worries about looters everytime I go some where, having to give ID to NationalGuard to get back home, stinking air in the mornings. The new is gone, now it's just blah and I'm ready for things to get back to normal.
