Completely irrelevant. However, the thought does occur to me that the
reason you're having to order more clematis is perhaps because you have
lost previous plantings.


Actually I am buying and planting on behalf of clients - I'm happy to stake
my reputation on Rachel's plants and advice.

Fine. Just make sure you don't plant just before a wet spell :-)

Relying on others for your own reputation can be, IMHO, a recipe of
disaster in business.

As can be insisting on manufacturing all your supplies yourself as
opposed to obtaining them from good specialist suppliers.

If you buy-in the best widget in the world, then make a cock-up with the
installation, its your reputation (and sometimes more) that suffers, not
your supplier :-)
