Possible Clematis ID
Not certain this IS a Clematis but.....growing up the garden-facing front at
Knightshayes was a very well-established climber with pinkish stems when mature and small more-grey-than-green, 3 lobed leaves. The centre lobe is longer than the others and each lobe is slightly indented itself two or three times. The whole leaf is small, no more than about 3/4 inch in length. No flower description I'm afraid. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

I am racking my brains for suggestions that Ray (who I assume was with you) will not have recognised. When you say 3 lobed do you mean that, or 3 leaflets? Doesn't sound very clematis like, but could be one of the New Zealand sorts. What about one of the Ampelopsis or Kennedia's -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

What about one of the Ampelopsis or Kennedia's No, it's neither of those and yes, Ray was with me. I would certainly call it lobed and I think I'm correct. The leaf was, as I say, a very grey green and quite small an the stems distinctly pinkish. It was scrambling up and through a Rosa banksia and judging by its trunk had been there some time. I suppose I'd best describe its climbing habit by thinking of C. rehderiana. I think that in the end, I'll have to resort to ringing Knightshayes and seeing if someone there can find a gardener to talk to me! At which point you'll go "Oh *that*! Had that for years - what a lousy description." ;-) BTW, PH is coming here on Wednesday - any messages?! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ Just a hello from us both (we had a bit of a chat at Tavistock in July) Look forward to hearing what this plant is. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
