Evergreen clematis after the rain
Lovely! The scent from mine is now reaching that 'over powering' state. I just love this clematis, don;t you?
Yes, I sure do. Will the fragrance come later with warm weather and/or more flower development?
I can hardly wait to get some clematis.I have one but it didn' bloom last year or I missed it because I was ill on the couch.Bummer.I want hundreds of them.I've started about 300 from seed still in frig.I'm scared to take them out and start them,scared of failure.I have 10-12 kinds in damp spagham moss in different baggies,they've been in the frig for about 4-5 months.Some should sprout.I'm going to take them out when and if they sprout take those out of the bags,then return the ones that don't back in the frig for another 3-4 months and try again.Wish me luck.heehee Jody
Oh my, for me the scent is from first bloom till last...very similar to that of a hyacinth (at least to my nose).....I'm surprised you can't smell yours. May be a different variety than mine although the picture looks exact. HMMMMMM
Oh and Good Luck Jody :-)

Hummmm. Well I just went and did a big ol' sniff! I can smell them! But last year I could smell them 20 feet away in the driveway. Maybe it's my nose! It's 50* outside and overcast.
Would a few blooms cut and brought in survive in a vase?

They survive for a few hours at best, but the scent lingers. :-)
Will try it when DW is home then...
