clematis ahead of itself.

snip I see to my dismay that Etoile Rose has now been reclassified out of texensis and into viticella. So has 'Pagoda'. Campaniflora is now listed in Victoria Matthews' 'Clematis Register and Checklist' as viticella subsp. campaniflora, and what I used to call campaniflora 'Lisboa' is now viticella 'Lisboa'. And there's lots more. Hmmm......... I'd go along with 'Pagoda' being reclassified into the viticellas but I think 'Etoile Rose' is very much borderline and I can't imagine how C. campaniflora could be a subsp. of viticella. Still, what's in a name? - Tom. |

Still, what's in a name? 'Etoile Rose' is a confusing issue for customers as well, because although the Register says 'from time to time it has been put into texensis group' I've never seen it in any other place. Even the colour labels say 'texensis', though admittedly that's nothing to go by - some of the inaccuracy of colour could get us under the trades descriptions act. Some distinctions make it easier to list plants (like anything with integrifolia in its parentage and is herbaceous enough goes into the Integrifolia Group) but other things, like the campaniflora/texensis/ viticella issue doesn't particularly help customers and doesn't have a lot of logic for the nurseryman either. I could put triternata rubramarginata in the viticella group for instance, one of its parents being a viticella ... this is making my brain hurt. The more I look into this new classification thing, the more inclined I am to use the categories that look like common sense - and ignore the rest. -- Rachel |

Incidentally, how effective is milk against mildew? I suppose one can spray lots of it (skim milk, which is what we have anyway, at a dilution of, say, 1 milk to 3 or 4 water?) with no adverse effects, just to see?
