Can anyone help what are the plants in terracotta pots? They look like some kind of Sedum, Wendy |

Is it a young plant Rosefriend? The flowers don't quite look fully open so it could still be CF - this is mine  |

That's the thing with Clematis Rosefriend, Tig, a lot depends on where it's sited and how old it is, some of those that repeat flower can have quite different flowers in spring compared to their late summer ones as well. |

I see it Rosefriend, looks like another flower is trying to form on top  It looks a little dark to me for Crystal Fountain, although like the others say, it so much depends on the position or even the time of year, on my pink & white Fond Memories the first flowers are coming through nearly green due to the buds forming when the weather was cold. Here's my Crystal Fountain for comparison, pic was taken when the weather was overcast, so the colour is quite true  |

Yes, there is a new flower growing through the old one...wonder if the temperatures had something to do with that..?? I am still uncertain as to what mine is - I started to go through my labels today - might be quite a while before I find it, if ever!! It is in a corner and now, thanks to next door putting a tin shed on their side, is in shade for more than half the day...wonder is that is the problem... Yours is different, no doubt Jilly !! |

Rosefriend I'm beginning to think it actually looks more like c. Multi blue! Must admit that I have had that in the back of my mind for ages - can't remember buying it though as I have never thought it sooo lovely....perhaps a weak moment !! Rosefriend, yes I see what you mean. Plants do the funniest things don't they. Shame about the neighbours! Yes - I shall take a pic of it as it gets bigger - I suppose it is some kind of Proliferation - anyone know - Tig, owdboggy...??

Who cares Rosefriend it is lovely. Although you will want to know the name, it being like this is not a bad thing eh? And half shade is something most clems like.
Lucky you for having this beauty.
Have you taken a flower to Olaf yet? He might know.

Well I potted it up and waited and guess what - we all know what it is...!!  Asked Olaf about the clem Dutchy - he is leaning towards Crystal Fountain and the flower in a flower he calls a "Naturphänomen" - natural phenomenon and it is lovely - he is right, it is lovely...

Very easy and as you can see it seeds well - has to if it has to grow here anyway !! There are some lovely colours as well these days - a maroon that is very fetching and white even... |

Rosefriend one of the reasons why I thought your clem could be multiblue is that it isn't showing the vivid green sepals in the centre which is a characteristic of cf - mine has more flowers today, they are wet so may not look very good for long!

That has been bothering me all the time Tig, - I thought maybe that came later and I have been looking every day - I'll get a pic in a minute - don't think they are Multi Blue though... I am wondering if it was sold to me as Crystal Fountain and it was "xxx" and I'll probably never know... |

Ok - this is mine again Tig, - first the flower in flower one - the outer petals have fallen off leaving a sort of star - I think it is pretty...  ...and here is a pic of them all - not one green middle - I think it will remain a mystery...  |

Ah nice cornflower RF, if only I had looked in. My allotment has loads of them. Once they are there they are there to stay provided you don't weed them out when they are seedlings. So the Clem is still a mystery eh? Ah well she is lovely. Hm how about Mysterious Marvel.  |

A few years ago I was lucky enough to get a cutting of this very aromatic leaved plant. I think it's some kind of salvia but have several at home here and none smell like this waist high plant. It's herbaceous and now a couple of years old. I have a feeling it might be some kind of Nepetia as the smell is very similar to the ones I have. As you can see from the pics, the stems that carry the flowers are themselves about 20 or 30 cm long although the whole plant stands over 100cm. Anyone have any ideas? andy, wendya, Rosefriend, Tig, Ladygardener, Jilly, Dutchy, Ron, Jasmine Jilly Chuckles isabella Geranium Barbara theinsidegardener Auricula   |
