Unknown Clematis
By Stu
Cleveland, United Kingdom
Can somebody please tell me the name of this Clematis. The label dropped off sometime ago!
I've had a few thoughts but not convinced about any.

Yes the flowers are indeed large . . . . I did think it might be Nelly Moser!

Could also be one called Fireworks. Best place for Clematis id is http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/

No - 'Fireworks' has light filaments/anthers. Nelly as per your photo has dark. I still go with Nelly. Agree that the site is a helpful one! I have it as a favourite.

Hi,
I actually e-mailed this site too
http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/
and I had an answer very quick. They said it was "Carnaby" . . . . . personally I don't think it's Carnaby!
This is Nelly Moser on their web-site

I have now had second thoughts about Carnaby . . . . . I think it is Carnaby rather than Nelly Moser.

Never heard of Carnaby...shall investigate, Stu!

We don't think it's Dr Ruppel . . . . I'm 99.9% certain now it's Caranaby.
Thanks

Previous question
My immediate thought was 'Nelly Moser' - but there are several Clematis with bars. Are the flowers very large? The central filament colours are right for a Nelly. I'll go with her.
