It's raining pretty seriously in the Northeastern U.S., with our first freeze predicted tomorrow night. I haven't even had a frost yet on my hilltop. I brought in all the tender plants and geraniums and put them in the barn, it's a lovely day and hot enough to eat outside. The nights are another matter, frost last night and snow flurries are predicted on Sancy. not enough to lay, just a light dusting. Are you in New York State Gary? Judith |

Yes; in the hills about 30 miles west of Albany; perhaps 180 miles west of Boston (the American one). 1400 feet elevation, so a bit cooler than the maps would indicate. That's a two-edged sword: my summers are a bit cooler, but I usually get the first frost somewhat later than the valleys below.

He was a branch of the family that owned Corning Glass...old money (at least for us; you folks have much older). The George Landis arboretum across the valley from me has that Clematis. I keep meaning to snitch a cutting or two, after making a suitable donation. Does that violate the "cuttings will succeed only if stolen" rule?

Still has the best scent of any summer flowering clematis. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
