i did not realize when i planted four clematis two years ago that they need lots of full sun to grow. i planted them on the north side of the garden shed so they could be seen from the porch. they would look lovely if they had grown.
but i'm not as stupid as i look and here's my solution. the mirror came from the shower, pulled out when we first moved in and saved because i was sure that i would find a use for it someday. now all i have to do is adjust the angle every hour or so. we'll see if it works.
UPDATE 22-XI-11: actually it fried the clematis! looking at the reflected sunlight on the shed you can see that the mirror is slightly concave. just that much concentrated the rays and SMOKIN' ! i potted the clematis and just move them around now.
