Spooky Yvie. I grew those two together in Belgium but Omoshiro was never very happy. Love it though. It's on my list to try here but not buying any more until I get the current batch planted. Might take a while.........

Thank you @Obelixx I love niobe. I hope my EV comes back I think it's getting out competed in my small bed. @Yviestevie that omoshiro is lush never seen that b4. Speaking of IDing clematis saw this in tesco... No name on any of the tags though. Could it be madame Julia corevon..?
Comtesse Du Bouchaud again - beautiful flowers, lovely texture and colouring.
I bought an Alpina Frankie yesterday and almost got an Alionushka which looked really interesting. But unfortunately I foolishly put it back on the shelf at Morrisons while I checked information about it on my phone and a woman who had just walked in through the door swooped in and got it! No others there.
@Mr. Vine Eye I bought a clematis Alionushka three weeks ago in my local Morrison's store, the biggest, healthiest one of three left on the day. I feel your pain at missing out as I couldn't believe my eyes seeing it there at such a good price,as I'd been wanting it for a long time. I know they're small plants but they do grow on well when potted on for a year. My plant has grown a lot in 3 weeks in a deep pot in good compost. Anyway, I'm not just bragging, honest. I popped in this morning to my local Morrison's and new Alionushka clematis plants were on the shelf, only 2 left though so they do restock regularly it seems. The staff member I chatted to said they get a big plant delivery on a Thursday, to be well stocked for the busy weekend trade. I didn't see any clematis alpina Frankie sadly in Morrisons because I would have pounced on that one. Did you buy it in Morrisons or elsewhere? I once missed out on a heavily reduced , but still very healthy hellebore as stood pondering where it could go, still annoys me now that a woman just grabbed it with barely a glance at it from right in front of me. Serves me right for being indecisive though, now l grab first and ponder and Google when it's in my basket .

I'll have to hope it's restocked at some point.
