Grüne Fassaden verschönern nicht nur das Haus, sondern fördern auch #Klima und #Biodiversität.

Ob #Efeu, #Kletterrosen oder #Clematis – je nach Standort und Sonnenlage eignen sich unterschiedliche Pflanzen.

Wichtig: Fassade prüfen, passende Rankhilfen wählen und regelmäßig pflegen. Sowohl Wand- als auch bodengebunden Systeme haben Vor- und Nachteile.

I've been going through the press releases, scribbled notes and photos from the recent Garden Press Event. This rather lovely new clematis was just one of the things I saw.

Head over to my blog to read about the day: https://bit.ly/4bgGNn0

A memory from RHS Chelsea for this week's cheerful flower and something from the Raymond Evison Clematis display - it never fails to delight.

This stunning native vine, Clematis virginiana (Virgin's-bower), is a pollinator magnet! Its fragrant white flowers provide a vital source of nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

Closeup of the woolly seeds of the Western White Clematis. Love seeing these hairy little tails hanging all over the shrubs where the vine climbs.

When shit gets really bad I find shortening my timeframe, taking a breath, and seeing how I can make the next moment just a bit better helps.

This helps me move on from stuck depressed overwhelmed spots. A sequence of these next small moments making something better also helps me open up my timeframe context to periods larger than just moments.

For me one of the best ways to make the next moment a bit better is to do something sweet for somebody else.

Mitte Juli hatte ich die #Clematis "Comtesse de Bouchard" bis auf den Boden zurückgeschnitten. Sie hatte zwar schön und reichlich geblüht aber man konnte von Tag zu Tag das Verwelken aller Laubblätter sehen. Also Schnitt.
Vor knapp 14 Tagen sah ich neue Triebe hochkommen und seit ca einer Wochen Blüten! Und das jetzt Mitte Oktober.
