hummmm. My first question would be do you know the name of the clematis? would also help to know the prunning type? if neither of these are known then about how old is the vine and has it ever been prunned and if so how long ago? Does the vine seem to bloom up high and is the vine very leggie? How many vine's are there coming from the ground? I know that's a lot of questions. Lets assume we don't know the answers except it blooms high up and hasn't been prunned in several years or many years. Prunning a neglected clematis isn't going to hurt a thing. I just would not do it this time of the year unless you can make very sure to keep it well watered and mulched. Clematis love mosit feet and I water most of mine with the dry weather we are having here in middle TN right now,I try to water mine every other day. I'm not scared to hard prun a clematis because it just really does nothing put rejuvenates them to sprout out from the ground more and more vines. Mulch well and water well is the key to reviving a neglected clematis. Sandy

Hi! looking for garden friend madplanter! If you talk to her, ask her to email me w/ contact information b/c my email is not getting through to her! I have plants for her that I know she would like. Thanksin advance!! Jean (jnhidden)

For me, I don't see #1 as plantaginea at all. Besides the color of the flower which rules plantaginea out, the hosta is way too yellow. I know the sun can change the coloring of the hosta, but it just seems too drastic a change. Gardencool, I am thinking old time hostas too. I thought for sure there would be undulatas. My friend used to tell me that #1 had huge leaves. I thought it to be S&S without even seeing it. But then when we did visit, I thought it looked so small and got confused about its identity. Isn't it amazing how a hosta can look with a lot of sun exposure? Peren.all, even though I am so surprised to see the size of my friend's S&S, I do see a lot of resemblance to it. I have cropped the photo to see the hosta a bit closer. ConnieMay, I think #2 is looking very good also considering it was mid August when I took the photos. I rather like the different coloring and variegation in the leaves. The third is I can't tell what it is. I also cropped the photo. I would say there is no variegation in it. Just bleached out. Here's one even closer: Gardencool, you think #3 could be lancifolia. I don't know if my friend's hosta has the right shape of leaves for lancifolia. I have lancifolia and I find the leaves are longer and narrower. And I thought it would be a breeze to identify her hostas! It will be really interesting to see what these look like in the spring! I'll ask her if she fertilizes or has ever fertilized!
