I seem to be keeping them ok now so maybe I can get Bee's Jubilee - I really liked it too. My other with a pompom pretty but not very big bloom is called Plena something. I'll get picture this year.RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-86407411559352787442009-04-25T19:33:00.000+01:002009-04-25T19:33:00.000+01:00Rain gardener First congratulations on your award....Rain gardener First congratulations on your award.<br /><br />Funny about the eye watering.<br /><br />Have another try with more clematis. nelly Moser was my first and now nearly thirty years later and not much care it is stunning in flower. I will post it soon not long now.<br /><br />Josephine is a favourite because my mum bought it for me the last visit before she died. She always called me Josephine if she was trying to ask a favour.<br /><br />Actually each one is a favourite as you look or think of any particular one.<br /><br />So long as you keep watered the first year and a bit next couple of years if a dry spell and roots in a bit of shade they are not really very demanding.<br /><br />A drink with dilute tomato feed now and then in growing season does help.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-86514901804605992382009-04-25T17:56:00.000+01:002009-04-25T17:56:00.000+01:00Like Catherine said it grows wild here on the free...Like Catherine said it grows wild here on the freeways and sometimes one eye will start watering and itching and there will be Scotch Broom on that side of the highway. Funny only the eye on that side gets bothered. LOL<br />Aren't you lucky to have all of those Clematis. I absolutely love them and want more! I have Josephine and she's my favorite. Nellie Moser was my first and she didn't make it and I bought Bee's Jubilee that didn't make it either. But I think maybe the neighbor who had his drain pointed at our place killed it. We did have a little talk with him about re-routing.RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-20371747174814627572009-04-25T10:24:00.000+01:002009-04-25T10:24:00.000+01:00Hurrah - it worked!

I do like the yellow flowers though.<br />Your links work and you have such beautiful clematis.
