Dewy Mornings for Fertilizer Friday

Have you noticed lately that the ground has a heavier dew on it and it has been cooler in the mornings? It has been this way where I live.   To run out and take pictures in the morning you need your "wellies" on to keep your feet and your pjs dry.  But, it does offer an opportuntity to get some artier shots.   I will show you one down the post.   The blue morning glory looked so nice I thought beside Coreopsis 'zagreb' in this photo.

I purchased Clematis Alternafolia 'alba' just a while ago at Lost Horizons nursery.  It is a bush forming clematis.   I did not expect any flowers this season but the other morning when I was out I noticed this little bell flower.  It is so wee.

Clematis microphylla or Virgin's Bower has little starlike flowers on it.   This is it's second year.  It is growing up an arbour to the vegetable garden.   I have heard that this is very aggressive but so far I have not found it to be. 

Clematis orientalis is an autumn clematis.  The little flowers hang down with a red-orange centre.  This plant is agressive.  I started it from a little cutting and I have one climbing all over the side of the house and this one is growing up the arbour by the deck.   If you want something that is easy to grow once established and want to cover something quickly this is the plant for you. 

This is the Clematis Orientalis in bloom.   They are loaded on this vine.  The blooms last a long time.  A very hardy plant.

This is my arty shot.  It is dew on the asparagras ferns taken with the sun in the back.   I thought it looked quite airy.  Hope you enjoyed a look at what I found interesting in the garden this morning.   For more great garden photos join Tootsie Time for Fertilizer Friday.    In the meantime...Happy Gardening.  Valerie
