@Lizzie27 ..that's ok, as long as you're happy with it.. I feel sure it's 'Miss Bateman'... .. this is a florida sieboldii type.. as you can see it's quite different.
@Marlorena, so it is, how strange! Mine's about 6-7 ft tall, growing on the rose arch with Ispahan in the front garden. I must confess when I saw it was out yesterday, I didn't think it looked quite the same as previous years. I'll see if I've got any photos from previous years. Thinking about it, it might have been one of three cheap unnamed clematis from one of the shows many years ago and C. florida seiboldi was the nearest I could I.D. it to.
The florida types are quite distinctive - more like passion flowers, and we've had people in the past being sold those as passion flowers too because of the similarity. Yours looks like Miss B to me too.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
'Westerplatte'.. 'Bees Jubilee'.. 'The Vagabond'.. 'Avalanche'.. just finishing.. 'Niobe'.. just starting..
..of my modest collection, this is my favourite Clematis and I've grown it in every garden, as much for its historical connections which add such a poignancy that pushes it beyond hybrid clematis.. 'Souvenir du Capitaine Thuilleaux'..
Thanks for all the great pics of such a variety of Clematis, everyone! Not sure I really like the flashy pink ones; I rather go for more subdued tones...
That said, my C. Saphyra 'double rose' is pretty flashy itself...
@Marlorena, my new Daniel Deronda can apparently reach 6 metres but presumably that's only if it's left unpruned?
I was thinking of putting it on the 2 metre obelisk I've got with my new Strawberry Hill rose but I only planted another rather feeble clematis there last week!
I really must not buy a plant before I know where to plant it! Repeat, I really must not.....
@Lizzie27 I think you've been misinformed Lizzie... my plant never got above 6 feet.. an obelisk at that height is perfect.. any extra growth, well it can drape down can't it.. 6 mtrs sounds ridiculous to me for a clematis of this type..

I only have Lambton Park in flower at the mo but all the others are summer flowerers anyway and just budding up apart from a fairly young clematis cirrhosa. The good news is that when I pruned LP in March I too 6 cutting sand 3 have taken.
I also sowed seeds from Maxima when I pruned her but none has germinated yet. Patience needed.

Approx 9 ft height for Daniel Deronda @Lizzie27
