WT285 Second Chance

Photo Details

Poster: sarahzoe

Julia challenged us to use a photo today for the Ways to Use It Challenge found on the home page. I bought this dying clematis plant at an end of the season sale 2 years ago and planted it at the base of my clothesline pole. Last year 57 huge flowers. This year 49 amazing huge flowers. I'm so glad I gave it another chance.

Thanks Julia.
Thanks for looking.

How very pretty! Not just the card, but your beautiful plant! Lucky you! I do not have a green thumb.... :-)

I love clematis plants. This is gorgeous. What a great place to plant it. I just bought one this summer so fingers crossed I get that many blooms. They are fussy plants.. Awesome sentiment.. One of my favs.

Gorgeous photo and I love how you featured it on this card! Love the ribbons and the sentiment! You've inspired me to plant something at the base of my clothesline!

Gorgeous plant. I love clematis - I have 3, but I don't have any gorgeous photos of their blossoms! I'm so glad you gave this one a 2nd chance. What love can do.... Great ribbon treatment and love the saying.
