If you could only have one clematis in your garden...
Here is another shot of it
Decisions, decisions! I like the question, Jess.
I'll stick with Omoshiro but after that I think it would be Pink Champagne. By next year I may change my mind.

Hi, Here with my choice for 'One Only Clem." is Polish Spirit ,she is accompanied in this picture by my garden adviser a resident Mourning dove born this spring. The reasons I selected P.S. are, vigor, length of bloom season, easy to train as ground cover, cascade, climber and she gracefully and beautifully rambles into other plants. She keeps her legs covered, has had no health issues and with a bit of pruning and redirection she does not shade her companions too much. Did I mention she is a good friend of my dove and me?

Polish spirt has a nice color. I like Barbara as well.. Hmm
Betty,
That is beautiful
Inspiration has been blooming since April. She seems to like to grow on my salvia instead of the rosemary, but that's ok. She started blooming from a relatively small root system.
Daylilydreams - love your Will Goodwin. It's so beautiful.
Banana - we do have to cherish all successes we have and you do have a winner when a clematis blooms for a few months!
If I could only have ONE? I would be very sad, there are just too many.
Currently my favorite is HF Young - mostly because all my others are still pretty small. I just LOVE the color, but I wish he were a longer bloomer.
Betty, your Will Goodwin is a beauty too!
Beautiful specimen, Lisa.
