They must have - even if it's just 2 or 3 rather than the whole selection.  |

Very nice Maggy. My Burma Star only has 6 petals, wonder if that one could be Suruga? Shame you can't find the label for the two tone one x Tig |

Crystal Fountain  Look how my Crystal Fountain has changed since the 30/4 pic, looks like a totally different clematis. I love that bright green center. The colour on this photo is a bit on the pale side for some reason, it is a few shade more purple in the flesh.  |

That actually looks like 3 clems there Chuckles, with the blooms on the right side looking like doubles. Thanks for the close up's I do have one somewhere which just might not have bloomed yet.

Your Rebecca looks smashing Snowy. Is it quite a new plant? Tig noticed mine had got redder with age and I have to say I agree. I have bought 2 more - 1 for elsewhere in the garden and one for my sister and they don't look as red as my original one.

Chuckles. I was browsing through some garden magazines in a book store a bit earlier and one had an article on clems along with pictures. One picture was of a clem named as "crystal fountain" but it was a much deeper blue/purple than yours. It left me wondering if it is the same clem, or a "different" clem with the same name. The magazine one did have that bright green centre though. It was a Canadian magazine.

What a range. I had a closer look at mine - the new flowers are darker fading to the colour in my pic.

Isn't Rebecca lovely, I must not put anymore on my wish list  I think she is already on it ;D Snowy is your 2nd pic Nelly Moser. This is mine although the photo is a little on the pale side to the actual colour.  Here she is growing through the seed heads of Lagoon  |

I think yours is a Nellie Moser snowowl it looks very much like the one I lost when someone who shall be nameless put some chemical down to clean my patio !!! |

It most possibly could be Nelly Moser the name has gone clean out my head but i love the flowers on it thanks for the ID ladies. |

Amazing, Chuckles. How can they be so different and still be the same clem. What are the criteria they use for naming a clem? The one I saw in the magazine was closest in colour to the first one in the second row. The other one where I've seen some significant variation in colour/colour tones is Ice Blue. I have that one and it comes out a lot more white than blue, and I've seen some that are clearly a shade of blue. Oh well; ours is not the right to ask; just to appreciate and enjoy. |

I have Ice blue TT and mine is almost white no trace of blue in the flower at all. |

Todays offerings from Tigworld .... Multiblue - which always wants to show her flowers to the sky and my neighbour  and one I rescued last year, Carnaby  Nelly Moser and Ernest Markham are both in flower too, but they grow amongst the jasmine stephanense and I need a step ladder to get a decent photo Must try and remember to take a photo of Ville de Lyon tomorrow, she's putting on a smashing show again, such a good do-er x Tig |
