A Winter flowering Clematis from the mediterranean islands. On Pergola 1, so you can look up into the bells. From seed from my original, growing under the car port.

There is on the market, one with white/cream flowers, but I prefer this one.

Yes Simbad, all my Clematis from seed I never treat kindly, they don't seem to like being pampered. I leave them outdoors to cold stratify. My Freckles seeds itself where it wants, then if I want it I dig it up.

Thanks Siris, I'll sow the clematis seed you sent me this afternoon :-)
I found a couple of montana seedlings in my drive, never had that one seed before, among the block paving, one's growing like a triffid round my pond fencing and the others in our youngest daughters garden :-)
