Mammaj,
Mine are growing on some netting tied around the drain pipe! There are white roses growing underneath but it's still too early for them to flower, although there are lots of buds.

Oh wow, Lass!

I would give my eye teeth for blooms like that. I don't have a lot of luck with clematis, except for my Jackmanni. I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful display.

Just thought I would add both clematis are available at Taylors Clematis one of our Auction Supporters. They do a postal service at home and abroad and their plants are brilliant and Dawn said they are packed really well for delivery. I'm at 43 Clems at the mo, most coming from Taylors.

Edited to add, I hope you don't mind Lass but I might steal your planting theme, I can't stop looking at your piccie and just love it, plus both plants are for any aspect and I have a shady bit that needs brightening up.

Saph, just to add I have just ordered 3 clematis from Taylors for a customer of mine. I ordered them on Wednesday and they say that they will come tomorrow

They have emailed me to confirm this!

43 Clems Saph.. I had nearly that many in a garden I lived in once, but left them to the new owners.. ho hum!!

That is spectacular Lass. I have failed in the past with clematis. I don't think I'm good at the after care. Are they in the ground or a pot?

What about this for a coincidence? I went to Morrisons for a few bits and look what they had 2 rows of, and what made it even stranger they were the only 2 varieties they had.

So they just had to fall into my shopping trolley.
