My sister and I bought this clematis at the Seattle Flower show.
When we saw the name we both laughed as it reminded us of our childhood neighbor Dr. Ripple who spent many hours in retirement visiting with my dad every afternoon.
Doc's ongoing struggle with Parkinson disease makes him fragile like the petals of the plant.
As I leave the house each morning, I'm reminded to life each day to the fullest.
