Strange May
The weather has been more like November than May: fairly cool, especially at night, and occasional light rains, as if the rainy season were just beginning instead of supposedly over. No complaints--cool weather in which to garden and six tenths of a inch (15 mm) of rain.

The lovely rain we got unfortunately made 'Laguna' collapse due to extra weight of water on the leaves and flowers. There's a Jackmanii Clematis in 'Fourth of July' rose, but the rose overwhelms the Clematis.
Clematis 'Wisley' on the left always has the most flowers. I'd buy another but I haven't seen it for sale since I bought the first one about ten years ago.
