Hello May
I loved your clematis photos.


Pam in Bristol

thank you,

i will hopefully have some more pics this year, i have just counted
up how many clematis i now have in the garden ,and it is 22 but most
of them are only planted last year and this year ,so i will have to
wait and see how they turn out .

they all seem to be growing so watch this space.


i only have a small garden but it is surprising how many i can find a
place for .

You're lucky. I can't even get one to grow. Well, if I prune it in
Autumn, I get masses of foliage and no flowers. If I leave it, which I
have over this winter, it looks like I'm going to get masses of twigs
with perhaps the odd bloom 5 feet off the ground. It's a summer
flowering, deep red job and, if it doesn't shape up this year, it's on
its way out I'm afraid.
