Marlorena · May 2023

You are welcome to show your Clematis, whatever state they're in.. I only have about 15 and most are later flowering..

This one from last year which would be flowering about now, I lost due to a downsize last autumn but I hope to get it back again.. flowers best on old wood from previous season..
'Miss Bateman'..

@Marlorena they are really beautiful and inspiring! Looking forward to seeing your others when they bloom.

..thank you !. I'm hoping 'Bee's Jubilee' opens today..

Marlorena · May 2023

I'm cheating with these 2 as I've just planted them..
..rich and luscious, 'Westerplatte'.. from a 2L container. I know from experience this one grows at a rate of knots.

'Asao'.. from a 1L container, I couldn't resist, and I'm growing it with an equally pink rose..

Gorgeous Marlorena, I love the rich colour of Westerplatte.
This is my Montana : Miss Christine which I planted last spring, it’s one of the smaller varieties ( up to 3 meters) and is ok for a shady area, I’m training it sideways.

@Marlorena, could you please remind me of the name of your lovely true blue big clematis you showed last year? I'm going to Malvern on Saturday and hope they now have it on sale there!

First flower on Warsawska Nike, lurking at the bottom. I moved this last year and it sulked and did very little, but there is hope!

Lovely Montana @Bright star,
I have been nurturing a grandiflora for almost 3 years, coaxing it up into my cherry tree
and finally getting a small flowering display last April.

It put on some good growth last year up into the higher branches and I was really looking forward to a reasonable show this year but it looks like it's now died. The new shoots failed to develop and all the top growth is brown and dried.
Yet another casualty of this harsh winter?

My young Early Sensation, which I planted in Autumn impressed by a photo of a magnificent specimen posted by @JessicaS I think.
It is planted on my lower pergola next door to Adelaide D'Orleans so I hope they wont be too much competition for each other.

..that's a shame @owd potter so many people reporting similar with these.. I've not known it before to be honest..

..lovely clems Nollie and @Bright star a smaller Montana is always welcome.. 'Miss Christine' is really nice isn't it, not one I've seen actually..

@Lizzie27
I think you mean 'Star Of India'.. it does well even in the first year.. I hope you manage to obtain one.. have a great time at the show, lucky you !..
