Yes, I will take all 3, thank you very much!

I was at a local nursery and the lady had a climbing American Beauty with the dark purple clematis growing through it, just like yours!

I swooned! Of course she had sold out. :>(

Oh well. There is always next year.

I wish I was as beautiful as they are! I adore Climbing American Beauty. When mine blooms it's like a celbration. I'm wondering why I don't have Madame Victor Verdier.
