Lovely, isn't it. I agree - well done and thanks again, Karen. :-)))

So glad you like it Karen and I'm impressed that mine is bigger than yours!!!!!!
Derek kept asking why I was keeping a Scottish milk bottle in the garage...

You've really got a beautiful clem there, Annella. It will really cheer up your garden in situ. Clever of Karen to use a milk bottle...ingenious. :)

Thank you Whistonlass :-))

Thank you Whistonlass and spritz!

Is this a species Clematis then ?

Durdle Door it is! Anne :) x

Wow that has made some growth since June, lucky you and well done to you both.

You have a great specimen there Ann. I planted mine in the ground. It's doing ok but no flowers, and definately not as big as yours :o)
I can look forward to it next year.

quite right Hywel!

Bluespruce, Clematis Koreana is a species, but this must be a hybrid of some kind. 'Clematis on the web' at Hull University has this info on it:-

Small, bell-shaped, scented, lemon-yellow flowers, reddish at the base. This is apparently a 'stable seed-strain selected from pure-bred C. chiisanensis, which comes true, germinates readily and flowers in the first year from seed.'

Group: Atragene group
Approximate height: 2.5 - 3.0 metres
Raised by: K Sahin
Date raised: sb2001 ni2001
Parentage: chiisanensis selfed (s)
Other name(s): None known

Further detail:
Tepals: 4; 5cm long, thick and fleshy, overlapping in lower half and gaps between in upper half; prominent ridges outside with spurs near the base

Thanks for the info Karen Lol x

well, know we know! ;))

Karen Blue respects you now after all that info!!! Blue I love Durdle door and Lulworth cove and Lulworth village, places I will always remember fondly :-)

I have never been to Dorset...not ever. I shall go there one day. When I do my tour of the UK. Something I've always wanted to do...lol! Along with:

Fly to Stanstead and visit all the gardens in Essex and environs.
Drive and Walk the coast of UK
Visit Devon and Cornwall gardens + short break in Isles of Scilly
West Country Garden Tour (including Sprithenry of course....and Cora!!)
Northumbria including the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and Bamburgh Castle

I think I'd better get started!!

I would have to include Scotland on my list :-))

We have a great en-suite guest room any time you fancy it! :)) We could do shopping! ;)

I'd better start saving now for next year :-))

:)) cancel that shopping trip? I dont think so! ;)

If you like the autumn yellows so much, you could also try C.tangutica and/or "Bill Mackenzie". I think you will be delighted with both.

Thanks Jason :-))
