Ok, the garden center I pass on my way home has perennials at 50% so I bought a Knifophia 'red hot poker' and a Clematis tanguitica. I also bought a giant fluffy Rosemary that I am going to pledge to keep alive indoors.
I have been looking for a Clematis tanguitica for a while, surprised to find 2 on some on a limestone path in the middle of nowhere. I remember the blooms being more greenish than in these photos. Hm. So the new house is yellow and this will look lovely growing on the back fence we have not yet put in. I have a Sweet Autumn Clematis sitting in a pot on the side of the driveway that I plan on planting on the old timey laundry line that still exists on the side of the house. What else can I hang from the laundry line that would look cute?

Hmm, all I have right now is a basil plant that is rapidly growing anaemic indoors. I saw something awesome yesterday that you should have, though... I was coming back from the mall on the subway and we were going very slowly over a bridge, slowly enough for me to see a passionfruit vine growing wild on a fence that actually had fruits dangling from it! Very cool, but I don't think they'll live long enough for fruits in Indiana.
I was having a dream about clematis last night... maybe one of the sort of bicolored ones, pink and purple.
No- there ARE passionflower vines that are hardy to zone5 I think, might be a stretch, certainly to 6. Passiflora incarnata! Maypops! I had forgotten all about them, I think I'll get one of those for my laundry line also. I'm thinking of some sort of craft for my laundry line like hanging and old apron and planting the pockets with sedum ro something like that... Maybe one of those old wood clothespin bags planted up?
