    It was our Gardening Club spring show last night. I showed Clematis Ovation.
    I won best in class and best in show. Was totally surprised as I've never shown a plant before WP_20160419_11_17_40_Pro.jpg

      Well done butty! Lovely looking plant, loads of pretty rounded petals on it and I like the green centres too :)

                  I know it wasn't ;) my comment should have had the ":heehee:" at the end of it (not sure why it didn't to be honest :scratch: )
                  How many do you have in your collection now?
