Clematis 'Vyvyan Pennell'

Would have worked better indeed...:>)

lol..I know just well whom you are talking about :)))))

Its a princely colour but I suppose very difficult to reproduce.

I love this one. I had it a couple of years ago, but it didn't like it here. I saw it today at Glendoick....and I resisted the temptation! Its one of my favourites...wonderful!!

She is gorgeous - but she has the unfortunate habit of collapsing with wilt. She does return the following year, though, but I hate it when she drops 'dead'. :-((

Yup, that's what happened to mine, but she didn't return.

:-(

Indeed! ;-)

By the way, THAT hat....... it went for £81,000

I'm speechless.

I was speechless the first time I saw it!!
Lovely picture of this lovely clem Spritz, I hope mine doesnt get wilt. The angle shows it off beautifully.

Thanks, Tetra. I have my fingers crossed for both of us.

I've already lost 'Mrs Cholmondely' to wilt this year. :-(

I certainly hope mine doesnt..is it catching? I have over 30 clems in my garden at the moment!

A lovely colour. Did you see the variegated clematis on one of the Chelsea Flower Show programs?

I've been glued to it! There were some lovely plants, weren't there. I-have-no-room! lol.

Wow, Tetra! No, I don't think so - luckily.

Oh they are the sale ones Spritz, Brought them on from tiny plugs or cuttings..no I only have 19 in my back garden and 3 out front, but will be putting a 4th out front this week. So Im saying a great big PHEW!

I bet you are. :-))

Thanks, M. :-))
