    Not only are you a good gardener (knowing all of the names of the plants), but you are a wonderful photographer as well. Thanks.

    General Sikorski looks like a clematis to die for – but I like the arch that the pink Countess is growing on very much. Did you put the netting onto an arch that you bought? (Sorry to be boring – I’m a gardener!)

      Thanks, Cathy. I will cut back Sikorski after it blooms to about 3-4 feet. It has then rebloomed later in the summer…reliably over the years. The netting on the arch is vinyl covered galvanized fence wire cut to the right width. I just used black plumbers tape to attach it.
