I was given this clematis some years ago but I have no idea what's called.
The first photograph was taken in full sunshine; the second, early in the morning, before the sun got to that part of the garden.
I would be grateful for any help anybody could give.

Not 100% sure , but most likely one of the C.jackmanii cultivars ; there are numerous forms so a positive ID probably best left to a 'Clematophile' !!
Thank you, Paul. Let's hope "Clematophile" looks in!
It looks a bit like Clematis viticella 'Polish Spirit' ... which is a gorgeous clematis ......... but I'm no authority ........... hopefully Richard will come along soon ............
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Good luck Dd. You'll get there in the end!
Thank you, Dove. I just googled it and I'm almost convinced you're right. However, mine isn't fast growing, flowers from the end of May and grows to about 6-7 feet. Perhaps it's an idiosyncratic Spirit!
Thank you, B3. I need it!
