Today's beauty captured is a white surprise.
My Tangerine Crossvine looked like it was covered in white buds but it blooms in the spring. I went out to investigate and found my arbor covered with Autumn Clematis. I didn't plant it there. Such a mystery. My neighbor has one on his fence about 25 feet away. I don't think it came from his vine. I've had this arbor for 13 years always having my Crossvine on it.
A tiny root of the vine must have been in the pot from the nursery when I planted the Crossvine. It has taken this long to grow tall.
I welcome this kind of surprise.
Other white beauties in my yard this week includes this pot of White Dragonwing Begonias. I plant annuals in big pots and put them in the flowerbeds where they won't grow in the ground due to bad soil, too much or too little water. My big pots of Impatiens were eaten by deer last week so I can't show you those.
And, this white beauty. She has done well on her trellis by the garage door. Tropical White Mandevilla.
It is almost time to think about big pots of Mums for the porches. I probably can't find a white one.
All the best,
Summer
