Nice plant! I have Sundown too & love mine. I hear terrible things about it, but it has done really well here. Has reseeded quite a bit & all but 2 seedlings-out of dozens-have been the same as the parent.

Thank you seil and kentstar! Kentstar, my Sweet Autumn Clematis did not come back so I dug it up and threw it away. I saw another beautiful one at the same nursery where my neighbor had bought it for me. I don't have anyplace to plant one now. How is yours doing? It is very exciting to see a first bloom on any plant! I have a hoya (anyone here heard of them?) that's going to bloom for the very first time and it is the very first one I got cuttings of.

I can't really speak to your situation but I can sympathize. I work with dementia in an assisted living facility. The thing to remember is to keep Mom safe while she does her thing...whatever the thing of the moment is. In my facility they have activity centers, similar to what you see in preschools but with age appropriate items. Interactive themed items that people can come and go and use for stimulation...there is an old typewriter and some paper...some wood blocks and sandpaper...stuff like that...stuff to engage mom while she is restless. What comes to mind is maybe a shelf with random items that she can shop from, and a bag to carry it in...when she is done put it all back on the shelf. Make sure to LOCK doors if she tends to go outside, and make sure your local 911 has current info and photo if she were to get lost. Within the home you might??? be able to manipulate lighting to minimize this sundowning.

Any dull day or after a rain make such great pictures. Your hosta are always beautiful . I will now have to check and see my Paul's Gory after noticing yours
