my Alpine trough is now planted. all I need now is the lichens and mosses to grow.
in the trough are primula scotica and fimbriata, Leucojum autumnale, various Cyclamen, Galanthis kemulariae, reginae-olgae and sandersii, 2 different Androsace, clematis cartmanii 'Joe', Iris humilis, Geranium farreri and a couple of autumn flowering Gentians
It's looking good! Have you painted it with yoghurt yet?
Lovely little clematis
not yet cos I keep forgetting. maybe I'll do it now.
that's nice Mark. Whar sort of clematis is that Mark?
cartmanii 'Joe'
i have the Christopher Grey-Wilson 'Clematis the genus' and Christopher Lloyd 'Clematis' and cartmanii isn't in either of those :(
Perhaps it's in my alpine books.....
Google came up trumps as usual :) http://www.ingwersen.co.uk/Clematis%20cartmanii%20'Joe'.htm
so it's Joe for a reason
Yes, but I spose someone else must have named it for him - it's not done to name a plant after yourself surely?
true
