Few Photos Plus a Query

41 comments


Will start with the query, first two pictures of my new clematis which should be Warsaw Nike, which according to the label should be reddish colour. This is the first blooms, but they look decidedly pink to me. If anyone else has this clematis would they please let me know if this is the true colour.
Raining here again this morning, but took a few photos to show how everything is filling out now, plus a picture of the garden from the back door.


Sorry about the duplication, don’t know how that happened !


My wonderful Comtesse de Bouchard

Love those nasturtium. what variety are they??

2 Jul, 2012

 

Your garden is looking lovely, despite the horrible weather we are having. T he Canary Creeper and the Nasturtium's look great :-))

2 Jul, 2012

 

I'd say your 'Warsaw Nike' is actually Hagley Hybrid, Cinderella. Luckily, a nice one anyway...
The Comtesse Bouchaud is glorious, looking great.

The Nasturtiums are Double Delight Cream, a new bushy variety. Thank you Sensei89, and also Mavis.

Bamboo, thank you, looks like it was a case of wrong label again!

Even in the rain it all looks lovely Cinders, the Clematis is a fabulous sight and really stands out in your last pic...

2 Jul, 2012

 

Yep - I ended up with Piilu when it was supposed to be Dr. Ruppel..

Oh I love it Cinderella, especially your Comtesse de Bouchard, I have to find some room for one of those.

2 Jul, 2012

 

Thank you so much Lincs.
Oh dear Bamboo, that is a bit different isnt it. I have Dr.Ruppel, and its fabulous.

Thanks Marion, its well worth having.

Fabulous Clematis [Contessa Bouchard] and your garden is looking so fresh and colourful despite the weather;0))

Thanks PP

I love your clematis which is looking wonderful and the raindrops on the pretty pansies.

2 Jul, 2012

 

Thank you Wildrose, the clematis is really flowering its socks off this year.

You have a lovely garden.

All gorgeous Cinders!

Thanks girls.

Lovely photos and I, too, like those nasturtiums. So nice that they are a bush variety, different.

2 Jul, 2012

 

That was why I bought the seed Gee. I am quite pleased with them, but they are a lighter colour than I was expecting.

2 Jul, 2012

 

Your garden is pretty in spite of the rainy weather. Comtess de Bouchard is really pretty.

2 Jul, 2012

 

Thank you Hywel.

Cinderella - I posted photos of 'Warsaw Nike' recently so you can compare. Definitely not the same clematis as yours

2 Jul, 2012

 

Thanks Andrew, I'll take a look

2 Jul, 2012

 

No its definitely not Warsaw Nike is it. I'm a bit disappointed now, I'll just have to hope it performs well. Thank you.

2 Jul, 2012

 

So colourful Cinders, your gardens looking fab :-)

2 Jul, 2012

 

Thank you Willi

3 Jul, 2012

 

Wow your garden is looking very colourful and beautiful:)))))

3 Jul, 2012

 

Just put a picture of my Warsaw nike on for you to compare looks slightly different colour to Andrews but that could just be the camera - nothing like yours tho.
Your garden is looking great and the Contessa is definitely a star, also love those blue canterbury bells.

3 Jul, 2012

 

Thank you Mark.

Stroller I will go take a look. Have been out all day, just got in, but have also visited a GC today and there was a Warsaw Nike there, and it was definitely not like mine

3 Jul, 2012

 

:o)))))))

Flower looks the same but much larger.

4 Jul, 2012

 

garden looks fab cinders :o))

5 Jul, 2012

 

Hi San, thank you. How are you these days.

5 Jul, 2012

 

Garden still looking great Cinders, no your clem is not WN, we grow it and it is much darker, I like the clem though, it looks very familiar to me, not Hagley Hybrid either. That Comtesse is a star, ours has loads of flowers too, I love it.

5 Jul, 2012

 

Thanks DD. I don't think the flower is large enough for it to be Hagley Hybrid, but I'm going to have to look through a clematis book or nursery to find it. Think I may move it from where it is though when its finished flowering as not what I wanted for the arch.

6 Jul, 2012

 

Good luck with your search....

6 Jul, 2012

 

Thanks DD.
