@Wintersong - They are Doctor Ruppel and The President. Both of them look gorgeous . I'm guessing it's going to be next year before I see any flowers though.
Oh I have both those, although The President got neglected and this will be its first flowers for some years. I also took cuttings last year from all my Clematis, of which I have four successfully growing on but I will have to wait for flowers as well since the labels washed off!
@Wintersong - Oops! Ah well, it'll be a nice surprise. What else do you have?
Just potted mine up. I thought while I was out there being the wierd guy who gardens in the rain I may as well pot on a load of dwarf sunflower seedlings too.
Really need this rain to go away though. The veg patch is starting to look like a swimming pool!
This rain might be good for the plants (my sedum are acting like giant sponges) but its no good for areas that us gardeners want to cultivate more intensely. The ground around my veg plot is a mudbath at the moment although I have managed to plant out red and white onions, lettuce, beetroot and leeks whilst my broad beans and french beans are waiting for nicer temperatures.
On the clematis side of things, I also have Miss Bateman, Josephine, Jackmanii, John Paul II, Alpina and montana Rubens. I'm hoping to increase variety over the next couple of years since they are such a joy and so easy to grow. I tend to buy the little pots or the half dead ones at the end of the season because I know they will come back next year. Apart from random purchases, my preferences would be Clematis Seiboldii, Ville de Lion, one called Will Goodman and a Bill Mackenzie.
