2022 - Clematis

mikeymustard · June 2022

More viticellas starting to bloom. This one's Night Veil (probably - there was a bit of a mix up at the nursery, and I thought I was buying Pernille 🙄)

I love the "trompe l'oeil" 3d effect of the flowers

I don't have many clematis, about 14, so it's hard not to show the same ones..

That Princess Diana is fabulous, mine's only just starting to bloom and I love that deep blue of Vagabond.

..difficult not to get roses in the picture as most of mine are matched, but I can't be doing without 'Niobe', I just think the colour goes so well with pink roses.. and it's never wilted for me..

Here is Tsukiko, and if anyone is interested in the meaning of the name, it’s ‘Moonchild’:

What's not to like about piilu when it's smothered in flowers? Mine had a bit of a mishap last year; it's sat on my porch step. When we had a wet spell last autumn, I didn't realise it was sat in a perfect rain shadow, so only one stalk made it up this year 😩.

I'm not a fan of roses but that combo with the niobe is absolutely wonderful!
