Princess Diana Clematis

Thanks Shirley1md!

I absolutely love these dainty flowers, and it blooms all summer, right thru the heat.
I also have Gravetye Beauty (I hope) that hasn't flowered yet.

Perfect little blooms start hanging down, then start tilting.

Till fully open. My anole can't wait for the show this year.

I am anxious to see it fully open too. That's really pretty Vi.

That is the pic of it fully open Sidney! The flower is only 2".

Stunning !!!!!

I luv it, Viola! Beautiful!!!

gorgeous!!!!!

Excellent photo, Vi! My C. texensis, "Princess Diana" hasn't bloomed yet, but it has put out a lot of new growth. Hopefully some big fat buds will appear soon! Yours is simply gorgeous! Don't you love their reflexed curves at the tips of the blooms?! C. texensis, "Gravetye Beauty" should be blooming very soon for you also. Does it have buds yet? Way to grow!!!

Sugarweed, the blooms are open. These are small flowering compared to the large showy flowers of other varieties. I just love their simple elegance!

What a pretty pink, so sweet. I will have to look for this one. But where will I put it? Since when did that keep a vine freak from purchase. LOL

This really is a sweet looking flower...I never knew anything but the large type clematis existed until this week...but I love this one! And also some of the bell shaped ones.

Oh Margie, you're in for a real treat!

I'm in awe! That is a great flower! Luv it!

Great pics, Viola bird!

Gonna go find me one of those! (Wedding anniversary coming up...will make a fantastic present for my DW! She's MY Princess!)

I got all of mine from Chalk Hill Clematis, they send really nice, established plants

I have 2 plants ordered from Chalk Hill...they were out of PD...they did have specials on other small ones...I am not sure if they are the same as yours?
Please check out the monthly specials and let me know if you see ones similar to yours!

I looked, and none of the ones on the monthly special, look like mine...

Thank you...another thing...could you find some on the photos that are close to yours for me?! It seems that all their unusual ones are sold out. When is a good time to order to get a good selection?

That is the only one that I saw...I think fall, is the best time to order from them...

Thank you...I will do that...

Wow, looks like I might have started something here ;>}


Shirley1md got our clematis from here from the co-op in 03. http://donahuesclematis.com/smallflower.html

Melva, you just might ID all your from this site. That gorgeous pink stripe must be Duchess of Albany!

A co-op in '03....anyone see one coming this year?

What a cool site! I feel sure that one of mine is this one...

I will take some pictures later and post them. The roses seem to be taking a break, but I do have some Clematis that are blooming. I bookmarked that site, thanks for posting it!

I think we should start another co-op for these, don't y'all? I just gotta have some.

I think so too...it could be for fall delivery?

A Clematis co-op? I'm in!
Here is a picture of the only one I could find blooming...it was guessed that it could be Duchess of Albany?

I love it! I will wait on ordering anymore clematis....just incase there is a co-op!

You guys did it again.Another great site to order from.I bookmarked it and will order for Fall shipping unless there is a clematis coop.I have alot of clematis vines all started bare root last spring so it will take some time before they give me more than 1 or 2 flowers.I have to have the princess and also clematis Armandi.I smelled it all over Charleston SC. in March.It costs alot more than I usually pay for plants but it is worth it just for the scent and for the fact that it blooms so early.Thanks for the site.

Beautiful clematis, Violabird and Melva!

Doesn't somebody want to start a new co-op for these lovely clematis???

Wow, gorgeous!!

so so pretty! I am waiting for the co-op who's gonna do it?

I love coops, you love coops, we ALL love coops !
