When Swami Vishwananda visited my home for the first time in January 1999, I wanted to receive Him with flowers in bloom. Now on the steps to the cellar stood a pot with dead Clematis, which I had decided to throw away for compost.
When Swami Vishwananda came and saw it, he stroked it. Three days later from that dry pile a beautiful fresh plant arose, with intensely shining large violet blooms. It was still January and a long time before the normal flowering time for Clematis. Since then it has flowered every single year. When we returned home from the meeting with Swami at Flueli Ranft, seven new blooms shone waiting for us.
