I think the sign up sheet is at the cash/wrap area and the tall spires are expired blooms of a Kniphofia. The camera angle made them look even taller than they were.<br /><br />Les, thanks for the name calling! I like it. According to the info on plantlust.com if I cut it back to get new red growth I may not have any flowers! <br /><br />Dirty Girl, thanks!<br /><br />Alison, I'm sure as it grows I'll be sharing lots of pictures!<br /><br />Andrew, I'm sorry to hear that...but there is always the internet! Cistus does mail order.<br /><br />Hi Digs/JJ, thanks for the pruning tips. I definitely want it to stay a smallish size and I want all the fabulous red growth that I can get!!!<br /><br />Meg, I'm glad you understand!<br /><br />Pam, isn't it!? I never thought the day would come.<br /><br />Hi there jp, thanks for stopping by. I would love to read your blog - I'll email you. And yes, we are zone 8.<br /><br />Aerie-el, perhaps there is a Cistus trip in your future?<br /><br />Thanks Grace, now I need to get busy planting!<br /><br />Scott, I had no idea it was a clematis! I first saw it last fall too and loved it, but I always forget to ask them what it is. Now I know...and I want one!<br /><br />Denise, I am curious to see if it flowers and what they look like. According to Nathan at Cistus the sale had already been a success, lots of plants finding good homes. And I like this trade talk! What might I have that you would be interested in?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-2096887062669411522010-10-03T13:06:39.726-07:002010-10-03T13:06:39.726-07:00Congrats on busting through the rose barrier.

And what a great idea to have a tough love/as-is sale.

I actually bought one of those yellow Clematis this summer (after seeing it in its full glory last fall, when they sadly had none for sale). I can't wait for it to get growing...those blooms (and the seedheads) are awesome. I'm with you on roses, but I've seen that one somewhere else, and it's also the first rose I ever considered buying.scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-63379156916094831022010-10-02T19:08:25.212-07:002010-10-02T19:08:25.212-07:00Loree, I'm pinching myself to see if I'm a...Loree, I'm pinching myself to see if I'm asleep and dreaming this.

I could send you an invitation to look at it if you like.<br />Two weeks ago I was on Bréhat island in France with Laurence and Charles at the "Pépinière de l'île", a wonderful place indeed. They are very pleased with your action about the variegated Echium.

Then be sure and put it in a spot that will back light the plant...the effect is quite amazing!
