New Peonies

I added two peonies (Paeonia lactiflora): "Festiva Maxima' and 'Karl Rosenfeld'. I took out two large Fuchsia 'Pat's Dream' in my tropical bed, making room for more oriental lilies (mostly the large white Casablanca) and peonies. I am waiting for a couple Itoh peonies to be ready for sale at the wholesale nursery, so I can add these without too much expense.
This photo shows new growth on the some of my lilies and peonies (finally):

Spring - barely here: new Clematis

I bought 6 new Clematis at my favorite wholesale nursery (T&L Nursery). I planted 3 of them and am trying to figure out where to plant others! Clematis texensis 'Princess Diana' had tulip shaped magenta flowers and Clematis 'Rooguchi' has bell-shaped purple flowers. I planted them on my arbor along with Clematis 'Romantika'.

I also bought some blue, violet, and white double varieties ('Blue Light', 'Duchess of Edinburgh', 'Multi Blue', and 'Vyvyan Pennell'). I will write about them later.

This photo shows the new growth on Clematis 'Jackmanii' and 'Jackmanii Superba'. They will get about 20' tall.
