Clematis starting to bloom.

Nellie Moser started to bloom.

This one is supposed to be Bees Jubilee. But it looks way too dark to me.

I will have to find the tag for this one.

Beautiful!! One of my favorite vines!!

That purple last one I posted is Will Godwin. Besides these and more that are starting now I also have lots of summer blooming clems.

I lost most of the tags on mine. Yours are so beautiful!! I have quite a few and this spring was wonderful for them . I think it is because they need cold and it was in the teens in my garden. They all exploded compared to the usual show.

I had some for years. But last spring I discovered Silver Star Vinery and bought lots and lots more. That didn't stop me from getting even more locally.

I just love your clematis. I have "Crystal Fountain". This past year it flowered twice, and I am hooked. I will definitely invest in more.

Hi all,

I have a Sweet Autumn Clematis (Clematis paniculata) that I want to replace with a different kind. So I am offering this one up for trade. The list of plants I am interested in is very long, so let me just say I will consider anything that grows well in zone 6, does not have to be another clematis. I already ordered this one's replacement (Comtesse de Bouchaud, can't wait!) This plant is 4 years mature and has already grown several feet. It grows like a weed. The reason I want to swap it is because I already have a gorgeous sweet autumn clematis on another corner of my house, and I have taken a fancy to the idea of having a different clematis on each corner.

So if you are interested in a swap please let me know.

Thanks!
Tracey

Marie, your first image of the very dark clem looks like Romantika http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/122343/
and the second one is probably Tie Dye http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=3205

Thanks Sue
