Members CLEMATIS 2024..

My clematis are rather bedraggled, when will this rain stop?

This one, group 3, doesn't have a name, it was a number on it's label, now lost.


Kermesina, also group 3, just coming out.

 

I like that no i.d. one very much indeed..
'Westerplatte'..

'Margaret Hunt'..

 

Such a variety of cultivars! Here's my Clematis patens Caroline's first flower, only planted last year.

 

Well I thought about Guernsey Flute too long and it is now sold out.

 

That's a shame, @katecat58. Maybe next yr!

 

Thank you @ViewAhead, maybe.

 

Can't remember what this one is called, Niobe? although I think someone I.D. it last year. Looks good with the Zephirine Drouhin rose at the moment.

 

My clematis Kermesina and unknown have grown quite a lot since the last photo. Arabella is coming out now. Etoile Violette is covered in buds but not out yet so no photo.

The sky is blue this morning, at last.

 

I forgot to mention that following my disappointment over Guernsey Flute I went to the garden centre and bought Ninon last weekend. It seems very similar except the flowers are smaller, which I think I prefer on a smaller plant. It is now planted in a pot with an obelisk. Has anyone else grown Ninon? It is not one that I had heard of before.

 

I've not heard of Ninon, no, so looking forward to seeing pics..

Some rather lovely Clematis earlier from various members,.. isn't Kermesina pretty, I've not had that one before..
Oh I forgot.. 'The Vagabond'.. in a howling gale today.. can't get any more blooms in the pic.

 

Thanks @Mrs Hillard, photography is not my strong point but I'll try. Agree about Kermesina.

 

I haven't heard of Ninon either.

 

[ATTACH= Ninon

 

Bijou

 

My Clematis 'Maria Skłodowska Curie' planted 2 years ago is making slow progress. It takes quite a few days for its very double flowers to open out, but well worth the wait.
