Looking at that garden swing reminds me of one I had in Maine, and like you, I was soooo busy taking care of the gardens that I rarely had time to enjoy it. Yet, that work was my medicine. I had never heard of a Victorian stumpery. A great way to enhance the garden. I'd love to know what kind of clematis V has that needs less sun. Full-on sun is difficult in my back yard due to the lacebark elms. I found the coneflower (Echinacea) cultivars grow quite well in my yard and I'll be adding more when Lowe's marks them down. They are hardy perennials, attract butterflies, and stand up to the climate and my clay soil here. Your lush greenery looks so inviting - reminds me of Maine. August in Oklahoma is pretty brown. I can tell gardening is your "medicine," too.
