Gardening: My Clematis bloomed and now the vine looks as if some of it is dying.

Outdoor Living: Unknown gelatinous mass left on a friend's deck….what could it be?

A friend sent me the following picture and wondered if I knew what it was, but I'm stumped. All I can think of is it might be an egg case of some sort or the previous year's skin shed from some creature. I have also seen some gelatinous fungi, but I really don't have a clue. Anyone have any ideas?

Gardening: Another flower to identify

I have this flower that grows all summer and blooms in the fall. It is really pretty w/sort of a pinkish/orangish flower. No pix of the flower (not Fall yet) but maybe you can tell by the leaves? It grows in full sun, in a large clump.

They are really easy to divide. It is probably best done in the spring, but they are so hardy ...»
you can do it any time if you really need to. We call them live-forevers, because they really do. Just take a spade and cut down through the root. You can also dig the whole plant up and divide the root with a sharp knife. You can even break off a small piece of the stem and put it directly into the garden if your soil is loose and you can keep it moist.
