What a beautiful clematis in the photo above! I've never seen one quite that color. Now I'm officially on the hunt to find one. The garden tour took us deeper into Mountain Shadows, in fact just around the corner where my friend Connie lived at the time of the Waldo Canyon Fire. After coming home from evacuation, she found her house intact but her back deck scorched. Look at the last photo in this blog post -- you'll see how very close the flames came. Many homes in this neighborhood were completely consumed, but ten years later the only reminder of the inferno is the charred remains of the trees on the foothills just a few hundred yards away, although some residents decided to keep souvenirs in their gardens.
