Clematis ‘Jackamanii’ at the end of her show, while C. ‘Avant Garde’ at her midway of flowering picks up the slack elsewhere during the summer.
An old cultivar flower vs the new.

Of course the Clematis virginiana in the greenhouse goes to flower while its garden-planted siblings show no signs of flowerbuds.
If I knew sooner I would’ve planted this one instead lol. Lovely white monster-to-be.
Not entirely sure what to do with the remaining greenhouse specimens; resell them? Find some really rough spot to let them raise their hell? Who knows.

First bloom for this year’s planted Clematis; Clematis tangutica (seed grown).
I think I’ve finally secured having seed/stock plants for future propagation- and of course for a lovely autumn show.
I’m a little surprised google had no results for “Clematis tangutica herbarium” or “pressed Clematis tangutica”. Like, other species with just-as-small flowers and just-as-much vigor are in herbarium displays, why isn’t this species??? wtf
