Clematis chiisanensis

Thats a georgeous one added to my favourites.

The one I grew flowered then it appears it got bitten off at the root by something. The one you sent is big and strong but no sign of flowers yet.

Phil not sure about the name have a look at my answer to your identification

We'll just have to go with it just being a good plant.

SG,I didn't realise I'd sent you one.If ours grow like Brians,then we can't complain

My one was almost identical to your photo. I could not find any reference to Brians comment re id. I have not located the photo I took but I will take and show a photo of your/my one when the rain goes off. I found this reference to C. chiisanensis. http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/iclsframe.cfm?page=page53
