My white Clematis has one beautiful bloom on it, and just a few more buds at this point. I think it will do well if it doesn't get too hot too early. I have it growing on bamboo poles for a trellis this year, which should not get as hot as the metal did last year.

The coreopsis and red yarrow are in bloom now, much later than the dwarf coreopsis and the yellow yarrow, which have both been blooming for some time.   The old fashioned honeysuckle is flowering now, and smells so much better than the fancier variety.

There are so many lilies getting buds that I am getting excited about it. I think I'll have more lilies this year than ever before.
