Clematis Alpina? (currently a Bee Umbrella)

That's a fab photo ...
... bee well-sheltered there :o)

Very pretty

Beautiful!

Gorgeous

That's lovely, lulu might know which one that is, welcome to GoY!

I've got one like this. It's called Clematis macropetala :o) It nearly got blown over in the gales this morning ....

Well I thought that all the C. Alpina had 4 petals but I did a google search and found this which seemed to confirm the original label.

(Not sure if I'm allowed to do shop links....I'm sure I be told off soon if not......probably OK though as there seems to be a ad of the same clematis from the same store on the right of my screen !)

This is lovely..welcome from me too!

Thanks for the welcomes (especially Michaella who has given me two now!)

:)))))

Lovely. I find all the clematis pretty & the blue/lilac ones particularly so. I only have a NZ native white clematis in my garden, planted a few months ago, & doing well. In September/October of this year, when it is spring here, I intend to put in at least one more, but not sure which one at this point. If I haven't already said it .... welcome to GoY.

Alpina, great value! I have the double version, Macrepetala.
Welcome to GoY!

Welcome Smorgie well captured sometimes hard to get a good photo with the bees.

It seems mine had the wrong label on it ...Well now I know what it really it. Thanks :o)

Scotkat there is no shortage of bees round here. I don't keep them but somebody nearby must. Actually we have lots of bumble bees too.
