I don’t have a favourite quote but I did find this one that I thought appropriate for today. Clematis ‘Dr. Ruppel’ is blooming out by our garden shed. My husband’s uncle brought it to me a year ago and I am happy that it has bloomed so beautifully. At a recent meeting of my Horticulture Society we had an excellent speaker who grows many clematis in her garden. She told us that we should give our clematis a fist full of Epsom Salts in the spring and again in July as they are classified as heavy feeders. That means that they require fertilizing for optimum bloom. I was out the door early the next morning to give all my clematis a feeding. Roses will respond to Epsom salts as well.
Kim Klassen asked us to include a quote with our texture for this weeks Texture Tuesday. After an initial edit of levels and a gaussian blur I added one of Kim’s textures called “magic” at 100% with Softlight as my blending mode. I then added an action by CoffeeShop Blog called “berries n cream to make it soft. The quote I found on Google. I made a brush of it.
Have a wonderful week

Great tip about the Epsom salts. I'm waiting patiently for my clematis to bloom. When we moved here last summer it was so overgrown. I chopped it back quite heavily leaving only about 12" of very old wood and prayed. It's covered in buds. I can't wait to see what colour it will be!
Beautiful flower! Lovely picture of it too :)
