Clematis napaulensis

Oh, I empathise entirely, but must admit to being green with envy also! Lol! Stunning! So happy to see it in flower for you.....you certainly need this little blessing B! :)

In my faves now! X

Thank you - I knew 'you' would understand! I actually went to look at it because I was going to post a question about its failure to flower - and there were the flowers! :-D)

wow spritz thats really special ~ well worth celebrating that flowering!

At last Spritz something to put a smile on your face, how lovely.

It certainly did! :-D))

Mine should be in flower soon - just as soon as the weather warms up a bit I think

Well done, how kind, it knew you could do with some good luck!!

This is lovely Spritz....I can imagine how you felt when you saw the first sign of flower buds....how exciting..:>)

:)

What a beautiful sight to cheer you up! (always felt gardening was therapeutic . . . )

I knew Andrew had one...how long have you had it, Andrew?

I still have a smile on my face - I hope it produces more flowers. :-D)

Spritz - mine was planted late in 2001

Did it take several years before it flowered, Andrew?

I think it was about three years before it flowered for the first time

Strange, that. I'm sure you were delighted when it did!

Hi Barbara, So pleased for you, it's such a beautiful climber, I've had mine a long while now. It puts on a wonderful display of seed heads as well.

So pleased for you, Spritz! Looks like a lovely plant to have! Is it scented?

No, I don't think so, Balcony. We'll have to ask Pam, won't we! :-)

How lovely, I won't suggest the flooding had anything to do with it. Whatever the cause, if I was superstitious, I would say it seems like a good omen:-)

It wasn't flooded...however, it's been a real morale-booster. :-)))

No scent I'm afraid :o((

I thought not. :-(

that is a wonderful flower spritz. lucky you. have you got snow?

YES...........(!!!)

So nice!

It was, especially in the winter when you need something to cheer you up in the garden.
