FFF, Clematis 'Ville de Lyon'

and before you ask, yes i am happy with the red, mauve rendition in the pic ; )

Darn, too clever Stevie :):)

Nice plant.

A lovely flower, is on my Wish list

It's one of my faves too, love the frosting on the inner petals, mine has flowered for ages but looks a bit ropey now:( Not enough watering me thinks..............?

Lovely Clematis, beautiful deep colour!

colour is really nice. How did you manage to capture that? getting to know your camera better? lol

Nice...! I love the red coloured clems...have a Warsaw Nike that's that colour. Been dry here and the clems have shut down...I have a tangutica that has tiny little yellow flowers and fuzzy seedheads...it's an autumn one and I can't wait for it to start.

Thanks folks, this ones flowering nicely and the colour is great. Lori I have also recently gotten a yellow tangutica which is settling in nicely

I'm hoping to see some flowers from it this season. It's been moved so many times in the last year that I think I might just leave it where it sits and do the moving next spring if it needs it. good luck with yours Stevie...be sure to post when it blooms!

will do. I have collected a few clematis for next season so it should be all flower power
