When I saw a clematis for the first time I just knew I had to have one of those plants!!! Well now I really can't say how many I have for sure!!! I believe I have about twelve or more different ones I have purchased over the years. They make such a beatuiful display!! Some of them are 4 to 6 inches wide--just amazing!!!

This is one of my seedling finds a few years back growing profusely and taking over the climbing rose growing there!! Close up below!!
I have Nelly Mosher that has bloomed and gone by and Jackmani' and Josephine that have not bloomed yet because they are a later variety!! I have about twelve that I have found growing from seed over the years that I find a place to fit them in on one trellis or the other that blossom in colors that surprise me because of the throw back to the parent plant!!! Oh ya there is also two more I stuck in around my grape arbor this spring!!! Some people have a hard time with growing clematis and they do have there issues!!! Wilt- rust -black spot -etc.but they always seem to recover!!! I really want a red one which probably will be my next and last purchased one since I am running out of room !!!! There are so many varieties I will never be the "QUEEN Of CLEMATIS"!!! Sigh :{
Perhaps princess?
