Sometime, no matter how much thought goes into companion planting, It just does not give the results anticipated.
On a Variegated Tea Olive (Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Variegatus’) I planned a creamy white Clematis to peek through Tea Olive’s foliage.
I did not plan on the green foliage of the Clematis!
So… variegated leaves peek through clematis foliage to pick up the creamy white flower!
Not exactly what I had expected. Pretty still.

Hello, just discovered your blog via Blotanical. Yes, that clematis is very pretty peeking – even with both types of leaves!
As companions, plants somehow make real attempt to blend and to adjust. The adjustment even goes to the way they shoot out and form. As companions, they tend to be less bushy….. Yours look alright. ~bangchik
