MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education.

{Our Clematis Lanuginosa Candida}

Last year our beautiful large blooming Clematis Lanuginosa Candida was wilting away... When I made a photo of its blossoms I was shocked to see their shrunken size. So husband Pieter did dig up the plant as it was in the shade, near the big trees... NOT good.
Here a proud Pieter shows off his prized Clematis Lanuginosa Candida in 1996...
That one was a DREAM!
It grew against the front porch balusters from Vintage Woodworks...
Something to really admire...
The same abundance in 1997, but we lost that one.
Pieter however always maintained to keep a baby alive.
Last year that baby was not thriving...
Now look how happy it is this year!
It is back to its usual size of up to 9" across!
It now resides up against the balcony, on the driveway side.
We hope it will be as beautiful as its grandparents were in previous years!

      Thank you and we sure are glad Pieter could rescue it! It was not happy when too much in the shade and we also think that trees work antagonistic against certain plants. Fierce competition for life and now it has space.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Oh we both are so glad we got these photos still. The ones I used here above, I had scanned this winter form slides... So I can finally post them too; such flowers were a DREAM. We hope for the best with the new one, well, rescued from its death. So far it did very well and maybe even better next year when it regained full strength.
      Hugs to you,

      We too hope that it does like this spot; far better than the one it was in last year...
      As far as treating it well, you can rest assured but in the front of the house for whatever reason it died.
      Hugs,

  5. Wow, your beautiful clematis lanuginosa candida♡♡♡ And LOVELY to see you two with it at its full bloom, Mariette. How wonderful that your husband bring it back like that. I love the way you said that 'as beautiful as its grandparents were in previous years'.

    I hope you are not feeling too hot. We are having rainy weather due to the typhoon (not the wind yet). Have a wonderful rest of the week.

      Thank you and don't you just love such blooms?! We hope for a repeat by this grandchild... just crossing our fingers it will work again.
      No, we have had rather cloudy days and not so hot due to hurricane Bertha being in the area. We were hoping for some sunny days to enjoy our balcony but we will see how the week goes.
      Hugs and love from your American friend!

      Indeed let us hope that our newest clematis will once be as gloriously blooming like its grandparent! Not all years are good for plants; it depends on the weather and temperature.
      Hugs, love and admiration to you!

  11. Good Morning Mariette, My word, the first Clematis was so beautiful and it looked perfect growing up your tree.... what a shame the flowers reduced in size.
    ....but now, because of Pieter's expertise and patience, you will have flowers in abundance growing up the wall towards your balcony.
    I love the photograph of both you and Pieter and your blue and white outfit looks beautiful. I love the slim fitting jacket, it really suits you.
    Have a lovely day today.
    Best Wishes

    1. Dearest Daphne,
      This tall and beautiful one grew up against the corner post of our balusters... No tree was competing with it there. Its offspring got planted near a tree and almost wilted. But Pieter dug it up last year after summer and it is happy. We hope the best for having it look like its ancestor!
      Thank you for your compliment; yes it is great to come out of Mass on Sundays and making the rounds through the garden.
      Happy remainder of the week with sunshine!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Thank you and yes on Sundays we do look our very best when we go to Church. It makes one feel proud of all the work and taking a day to rest and enjoy and be grateful.
      We sure hope the new plant will thrive like its ancestor.

  13. Lieve Mariette,

    Zelfs de grootste eik was eens een eikel en dat gaat vast ook op voor deze jonge clematis met haar wonderschone grote witte bloemen wanneer ze zó doorgaat met groeien.
    Ze wilden vast niet vertrekken uit jullie tuin waar alles wat groeit en bloeit met zoveel liefde verzorgd wordt.

    Lieve groet,
    Ger

    1. Lieve Ger,
      Ja, we hopen inderdaad dat ze net zo groot wordt en zo vol bloemenpracht als haar voorouder... Liefdevolle verzorging is één maar de grondkwaliteit en de hitte in de zomer is iets wat wij niet in handen hebben.
      Liefs,
      Mariette
