Plant problems
I have been having some issues this year.. maybe just the weird weather- pouring rain for a week, then boiling sun and 80 degrees..One of my Wichita Blue junipers from a couple years back ended up with a large bottom branch browning out. I cut the affected branch out, so far nothing more seems to be affected, but I am keeping a close eye on it.
Then my pretty little Clematis.. seemed to be doing really well at first- climbing the trellis nicely and putting out a ton of big buds. Then within two days, one of the two stalks just withered and went brown and crispy before the buds had a chance to bloom. Sounds a lot like the descriptions of Clematis wilt that I have seen online. So far the other stalk is still alive and has grown nearly to the top of the lamp post, but it is almost to the same point that the first stem was with large buds looking like they are getting ready to bloom, and the lower leaves of the plant are starting to show the same purple-y patterning that looks almost like bruising that the first stem showed before it collapsed, so I am really afraid it is going to die on me as well. The next couple weeks should tell for sure...
