Got a garden voucher for a birthday so just purchased two more Clematis . I have 14 different ones now , most are  just coming into flower . My favourite at the moment  in all its splender is  'Warsaw Nike' a deep purple single flower. whats your favourite Clematis ?

Here's  "Marjorie" out in full bloom (and I'm  just trying  out photos on a new phone) so fingers crossed  this looks OK. smile

Just looking in and I notice at the start of this thread that TDA had posted a similar photo. It's a nice Clematis that really rambles but we lost one previously so hope this survives, growing up a new pergola.

Brue, I have one similar(same family) Broughton Star, it’s not as delicate in colour as Marjorie it’s more blousey. Below are 2 of the Boulevard series-Daiyu(red) & Bernadine. What sets the Boulevard series out from others is the fact they flower top to toe, they literally flower from near soil level. They ain’t cheap but they do deliver👍🏻

It's raining this morning but I was out in the garden and was pleased to see these two, new to us clematis are finally taking off. The red one is Madame Julia Corevan and the white is Princess Kate.

Clematis ‘Daiyu’, a Raymond Edison Boulevard series offering. Beautiful & reliable doer. I have 6 from the series with 2 more coming on 2/6/23, they are big, bold & blousy that brightens up any garden. 

PS-whoops, I just noticed I already posted Daiyu🤣. On the upside-you can’t get too many Clematis👍🏻

Lovely Rocky. My Marjorie is doing well, and a Niobe, others a bit behind here. Mum has a lovely Nelly Moser out, it was Dad’s favourite, so it had to looked after.

I have it’s near identical twin-Lincoln Star👍🏻. As old as NM is it is such a doer, twin flowering to extend the season, prolific blooms & an eye catcher to boot TDA👍🏻. I have another 2 of the Boulevard series of Evison’s coming from Taylor’s of Doncaster. Expected in a few days. 

PS-I have Marjorie over my front door twinned with a cotoneaster👍🏻
