Hope I will be forgiven for doing a bit of this (It is at least plant

One of our Clematis raisings was awarded an AGM by the RHS in 2012 and
this month the "International Clematis Society" are featuring it as
their "Clematis of the month"

The patience of you nurserymen! A seed sprouts and 5 years later you know
whether it might grow into something of interest. Wow!

Think of it more like a sausage machine, you keep stuffing stuff in at one
end and eventually it starts coming out the other, so there are new
seedlings each year! At least Clematis are quick, the Lapageria can be 10
years or more.
