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.

Start with something like Polish Spirit or Etoile Violette, forget the
large flowered sorts till you get the hang of it!
