Countess of Lovelace does it again

I'm collecting Clematis....this is a must for me.

thats tremendous! when it is in bud is it blue?

Ive taken cuttings Alex..so far they are doing okay, but it will be early next year before I can trust them to the postal service!

No Sticki, if you look to the right I think you can spot a bud, big and fat, but a whitish green

mine is a white purple at the moment ~ it will be blue ~ but its not a countess

Oh you are a cleaver girl....you got the hint right away.
I agree with you on the postal service, I received two plug plants this week and they look real bad. Then again I forgot that we celebrated Easter on the same day this year. Ooops

I think yours was Crystal Fountains Sticki, and its at least as big as mine Im sure. Anyway, sent for one from T&M with an Empress and Duchess of Edinburgh, lets hope they are a reasonable size for the money!
Alex, I do remember promising to send you and Sticki a bit if they take..I wont forget.

you have a much better memory than me.
got to go and water now ~ not looking forward to it ~ got scratched and bitten to bits this afternoon while weeding.
many thanks for promised cutting.
i wonder if they will do a duke or duchess of cambridge now?

How beautiful ! Gone into my favs.

This is beautiful.....

Thanks Cinders, DD. Its one of those I bought which far outstripped my expectations. Bought this and some iris from Kelways years ago. Some of the iris are about to flower for the first time this year. One or two I cant even remember what colours they are Ive waited so long!

Wow, this one has left me speechless, its just beautiful

Thank you Dear, I must admit it does that to me when I look at it..cant believe its growing in my garden!
