Here they come! The first tiny green leaves of the clematis. I am SO excited. Last year they were hidden from the sun and from me by the over growth of bamboo. The bamboo is gone. Now to watch these wonderful new leaf sprouts and watch as the beautiful lavender flowers appear. I think they are lavender. Maybe they are blue. Sometimes you have to remove what has been so what was hidden can come forth again on its own.
The bamboo served its purpose. It filled a gaping spot. Now we can have clematis. The transplanted royal hosta can flourish. Maybe even the astilbe will come forth again. Things change. Life goes on.
