I say, I'm not really late with the TU SAL. I took the photo on time for the full moon...I just haven't blogged it until now. Isn't this impressive ORT collecting, even with having eleven days less? Remember how late I was last new moon? Having lots of stitching mojo is awesome!
The Autumn Clematis has started blooming. I hope this means it is finally Fall, at last. Our weather has improved with rain and cooler temperatures (for the most part.)
Now, don't ask what the name of this Clematis is. I have no idea! "Edit: this is clematis paniculata" It grows like crazy. In fact, it went all Jack-in-the-Beanstalk and covered over the Butterfly Bush...I'll have to watch it closer next year! Sheba refused to look at the camera as she hadn't gotten her hair brushed this week.
The flowers are less than an inch across and are creamy white. And it blooms out late, late in the season. Pretty, isn't it? It's planted on the side of Rick's garden shed on a pretty white iron trellis. Damn stuff grows like Kudzu and you can't even see what it's hanging on...so it kinda looks like a huge green blob on the shed. LOL
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Wow, that is flowering its little socks off!
ReplyDeletePlease can I have some of your stitching mojo??? x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful clematis. Our 3 clematis' started out really strong this year but came to nothing, so disappointing! We too have a butterfly bush, it never fails us and looks stunning year on year!
ReplyDeleteThat clematis is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful bush.
ReplyDeleteDoes it smell good? It looks like confederate jasmine. And the jasmine smells really good!
ReplyDeleteLove that Clematis - I'll have to look for one like that.
ReplyDeleteOh! Those are absolutely beautiful! I have to take my ort pic too. I'll take it later. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat Clematis is really flowering. Very nice! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I must consult my flowery books...I didn't know that was Clematis! I do however need to buy a butterly bush. I have always loved them.
ReplyDeleteNice lookin' pooch too!
So beautiful, and I bet the smell is heavenly. Great pics too.

ReplyDeleteI need to have it too...
I'm going to look for it in the store
Enjoy it, It is a beautifull sight
So pretty, and I bet the bees love it too!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that somebody else is still continuing with TUSAL (and tardy too!!) I think it's a lot of fun to see how much stitching is done in a year.
Happy stitching!
At least you're getting SOME stitching done! Very pretty flowers too :)
ReplyDeleteOur Autumn Clematis took over the corner of our house this year. It's just starting to bloom and is quite nice, even if we can't see our house.
ReplyDeleteYours is lovely.
The Clematis is beautiful, wish I had one...About the orts why waste them bu throwing them out.. Go to Michaels or some other craft store and buy some clear Christmas bulbs and stuff the threads in them . They would really go well with hand stitcched ornaments.. Carol M.
ReplyDeleteMuch cooler here this weekend too and I am loving it. Is there really a shed behind that bush? :o) Pretty blooms.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty clematis! I never even knew that there was such a thing as an autumn flowering clematis. Ours flowers in the spring. For the past 2 yrs it had very few blooms but this year it was loaded.
ReplyDeleteYour Clematis is beautiful. Your Tusal jar looks good too,
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty and delicate flowers that monster of a plant has on it - very nice.
ReplyDeleteI loved the "Sheba refused to look at the camera as she hadn't gotten her hair brushed this week"
ReplyDeleteI went the LOL way, and got weird looks from my colleagues in the office:)
And of course, your stitching is exquisite..
I had one of those clematis & we had a bad spring/summer one year & it didn't come back.....it was a new plant that year......so sad, because they are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
