Clematis 'Freckles' flowering at last.

Ours finished ages ago, mores the pity!! will enjoy yours now!!

Am I late, or everyone else early?

Mine's been flowering for months and still quite a few flowers on it. I think it just says winter flowering and we haven't had it hard this year. Yet!

Ours started very early, and finished early!!

Have to look at one of my previous almanac pics, October 2014.

There are a lot of flowers to come on mine now, Hb, but a pigeon is picking then off as they open.

No!! never seen that happen before!!

Dd, that's because I have stopped the pigeons getting onto the bird table, so it/they are taking their revenge.

Oh dear, you just can't win can you?

This one is enormous, it goes over the pergola, up a Elaeagnus to the heavens. I was thinking of cutting it to the lower stem, removing it and putting it on the open side of the carport so the flowering stems grow underneath the roof. Then I could replace with a pigeon proof clematis in that spot. OR find a seedling to do that.
