I want a clematis that has the wow factor, noting subtle, small or
delicate, I have many of those as Charlie knows. What I want is in
your face, beautiful to the extreme of being obscene, any ideas,
colour preferred would be white but the single most important factor,
is the brief in the subject line.

Miss Bateman - white with violet stamens wows me.

I had a "henryi", but it died :-( That comes close. As does
"The President", which is an extreme purple.



I once had a lonicera henryi which was the most boring plant i have ever
owned, no fragrance and horrible small brown colour flowers.

Hope it wasn't named after the same plant breeder as the clematis!

It probably was :-)

I have now decided on 3!! Henryi and Marie bosselot as mentioned to
me by Charlie and Artic White by Sacha. I will Google on suppliers
round here to see if I can get them otherwise I will order them online
from England.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions.

I think Marie Boisselot may be known also as Madame Le Coultre but Charlie
will know for sure.

It was indeed but he did not breed either plant but was a plant
collector, I gather its rather the luck of the draw when one is honoured
by having a plant species named after one, you could end up with
something beautiful or a weed!
