About the Muscari and the daffs - if you planted the bulbs at the same time - you were probably too late for the Muscari. They start into action in late summer with leaves and roots while the daffs are just stretching and putting out a few roots. Let them bake over the summer and see if you get better results next year. And rescue the daffs if you planted them together. Muscari multiply like compound interest and can quickly swamp a container. (That might not be true in other zones but it surely is so in mine.)

I think that Clematis that has decided to become a groundcover for Woody is beautiful. I'd be inclined to cut it right off and see what happens, personally. Dear friends of our's (who owned a nursery for years) always maintain that plants would rather live than die and that if at least some of its cultural requirements are met they'll continue on. I wonder if the microclimate near the house and the walkway (a heat sink) encourages it to bud up too soon? Lol about the comment on the fencing, Saucy. A flashlight a rifle and a belligerant dog might help, too. ;) 'bug, I love Epimedium and have a particular fondness for groundcovers in general. Your's are really handsome. And the checkered regularity of the Fritillaria is just super. Though, like PM, I am cautious about them, since the arrival of that horrid (but beautiful) Lily Leaf Beetle.

Hi WSG, I know you're eager, but pls. be patient & give them more than 24 hrs. to respond (folks DO have other things to do besides visit here). Our esteemed Crassula maven "Duffle" could likely also suggest what this is as well. In the meantime, why don't YOU go to Desert-tropicals.com & browse around the varieties of Crassulas, starting in the area of C. marnieriana, rupestris or perforata. Those are some in the group I think of as 'stacked' Crassulas & should give you a decent place to start looking 'til other folks come around w/ addt'l suggestions.
