my 8th clematis

Your little helper looks full of mischief San !
Piilu will give you double flowers, on the old wood, if you don't prune it in late winter, then singles in the late summer.

Nice blog San lovely pics,like the new Clematis. It's sunny here in Northants but the winds cold :-))

lovely blog & photos...plants look great & Casper is so sweet bless him !

That's a beautiful Clematis, San, one of my favourites#I must have 3 or 4 of those in my garden~it is a real beauty, well done! Another plant you have saved from keeling over at B&Q! :~))

Lovely clematis San,I do the same,dig stuff up,and move them..sometimes they go back to where they started.Lol..Casper is looking good too.Its really hot here today,wonderful....I can't believe I got talked into making a Meat and Potato pie for Family tonight...I must be mad...

I don't think it's possible to have too many Clematises :o)) You have a nice selection Sandra.

Very busy day for you Sandra...Lovely clematis and trellis looking good. Sunshine here for us aswell today.

Have two Piilu in my garden and they are full of flowers at the moment, some single and some double. Yours will fill out in no time.

thankyou everyone for your kind comments and info,, casper is so full of mischief, i had dozzed off on sun lounger later this afternoon and my son johnny called out to casper to leave the frog alone, so i woke with a start and rescued it in a plant pot, a quick check over and popped him in the pond where he had a swim and under the rocks to escape the ferocious cat lol,
flori your right about B&Q most of the plants looked so weary and half dead today ;o((
bloomer yes you must be mad making a pie in this hot weather, salad here ;o)
lol carole, yes going for Gold haah, and your right hywel can never have to many ;o))
so glad you have all had sun to, it sure makes you feel good,
michaella and silverbelle i think iv missed the doubles as its onto singles already but lots of buds so never know ;o))
marguerite i love my table and chairs on deck its where i go first thing in morning for my cuppa ;o))

I like the clematis Sandra, you have quite a collection there. I have three but don`t seem to have much luck with them, I`m sure yours will fare much better. :o))

thanx sandra, some were small when i got them and not sure if they will flower this year, will just see, think they can be a bit tricky cant they ;o)

Hi Sandra, I laugh at myself for doing that - nice to know I'm not alone, but in good company :-))

Super blog as always Sandra. There was the Pillu in our local B&Q but only with 2-3 buds on and the roots didn't look that healthy so decided against it. It's very similar to Nelly Moser.
Great pics and hope she blooms for you well, looking at the amount of buds you have, can't see why she wouldn't!!

lol muddy,, i laugh to and my son thought i was mad, why do they all keep saying i have to much ;o)
thankyou steve, this one was right at the back, had to untangle it from others, they pack them together way to tight, alot looked dead, shame really, but im happy with it and your right it does look a bit like nelly moser, slightly smaller flowers i think ;o)

Great blog San and isn't it amazing how NOT getting a pot can bring on such a whirlwind of gardening activity! Nice Clem!

thanx karen, your right as i didnt intend on doing anything today, was going to just sit ;o))

Lovely, lovely, lovely San. :o)

aww thankyou fluff ;o))

You're welcome! That is a purrfect kitty shot! ;o))

lol thanx fluff, i think casper enjoys having pic taken ;o))

You are so-o-o fortunate in being able to get clematis to grow! And what splendid specimens. Thanks for enabling those of us who are unsuccessful clematis cultivators to enjoy your success!

thankyou kowhai, up to now they seem to be ok but its just over a year since starting with them, so each one i get i just hope it stays with me ;o))

Another lovely blog. How I laughed at your dithering in B&Q. Sounds so like me. I move stuff at the wrong times too. I think it is not the wrong time it is the place that needs to be sorted out ASAP and rush in where real gardeners, LOL, would fear to tred. I rarely lose anything either. I love your pussy cat. Looks like a real bundle of mischief. Your primula vialli are great and what are the white frilly flowers.

amazing how - just when you think there couldn't be a less interesting shopping expedition - that one little interesting thing you just HAVE to have happens - what a delightful thing Piilu is and very definitely a lady - you've given me a new way of thinking about my plants actually - he - she - hmm ... thanks for sharing =))

thanx scotsgran lol glad im not alone on the dithering thing ,casper is so full of mischief your right there ;o))first year for these primulas, i love them to, hope they come back each year for me.the white flowers and white ruffles which are a poppy ;o))
thanx for you comment to cate, i think of all plants like people haha, glad you enjoyed blog ;o)) lady piilu settled in well and blooming now lol

Glad to know that somebody else does things that we gardeners shouldn`t do. I move things about that many times that I have to go searching for them when they pop into my mind. lol.
I`ve just bought clematis `Dutchess of Edinburgh` and am so disappointed in it, it looks a very miserable specimen, so looked it up in my RHS and it says may be weak-growing, why didn`t I research it first.dah.

sorry about your clematis stroller but dont worry i have two i got last year and they are a bit weak and dont seem to be growing at all, should have flowered in may but didnt ;o( but will keep them in and hope for next year ,im like you and cant remember where plants are lol ;o))

Oh what lovely flowers....lovely Clematis.

thankyou silvisherr
