For Karensusan

C'est Magnifique!.....oops...don't know why that happened Louise....went french....was messaging with Karenfrance....that must have been why! Anyway, yes, it looks great! Mine is now a the top of my wooden arch. I shall get a better photo of it once this storm passes over. Hopefully that will be before the winter!

Big storm eh, hope you are not being blown away.
Lovely clem, good idea next to the vebena.

The storm has been hyped up to the hilt by the media - in THIS region.
We always get spring and autumn gales and this is no different, it makes me cross.
Scotland on the other hand has it bad :-/

They do indeed! Dislike the 'hype' try not to listen to news that often either!!

I think that they over estimate the severity of gales ever since the famous hurricane episode. I think they are trying to err on the side of caution....fair enough really I think. Better safe than sorry.

True !
We've had nothing out of the ordinary here .... phew !!!
50mph is quite normal.

Still full of colour.

Hi Louise, is it an orientalis? It looks a lot daintier than my monster which still, incidentally, has lots of flowers:-)

It's actually in the Tangutica group, Ba.
I just looked it up on my favourite clem site "Clematis On The Web" and it says there, tangutica !
