Last spring I ordered a &#8220;Ville deLyon&#8221; Clematis from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluestoneperennials.com\/\">Bluestone Perennials<\/a>, one of my favorite mail order plant sources.  It was on sale for half price so I was happy with getting a bargain.  When my order came, instead it contained Clematis &#8220;Venosa Violacea&#8221;.  I called the nice people at Bluestone and they promptly shipped out the right plant and told me to keep and enjoy the wrong plant.  This was a real bonus since &#8220;Venosa Violacea&#8221; wasn&#8217;t on sale and costs more even at regular price.<a href=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_8YuevXJXjqg\/SF-ue953AlI\/AAAAAAAAByw\/SjqFY0pchSQ\/s1600-h\/venosa_06_22.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_8YuevXJXjqg\/SF-ue953AlI\/AAAAAAAAByw\/SjqFY0pchSQ\/venosa_06_22.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215078740554875474\" \/><\/a>Last summer, I went down to Ellyn and Jason&#8217;s to take care of Mark while Ellyn had Anna and ran out of time so I didn&#8217;t get everything planted.
