Fantasmagorical each and every one Eric.

All I can say Eric is: WOW!!!!!

I only have Nelly Moser and a white montana out in my garden (most of my clemmies are late flowering types)

Just one thing though - Shouldnt they be in 'The Gallery'?

Just a thought......... :-\

Wonderful display Eric.  Do I spy a William Kennet (the blue one - No.4) - I have one flowering at the moment, also Nellie Moser but the rest of mine are later flowering.

Gorgeous Eric, and post 'em wherever you like!  ;D  I particularly adore the deep red ones, they are stunning!  Are they scented?  I have never grown clematis, I guess I should get some trellis up at the fences and grow some, so I know very little about them. :)

Eric, they are stunners.  They are all sooooo beautiful.  Which one is the 'fireworks'?  Is it the top right or is it the bottom left??? What ever.... I wish that they where in my garden. Dont care where you post them, they are a pleasure to see.   Thanks for posting them. :D

[Muddy_Boots]

What a gorgeous collection Eric, they are just stunning.  Thanks so much  :D :D :D

Please may I have the names, Eric? I've printed them off for my book. = Tim

[Palustris]

Have now added the names, they somehow disappeared form the first posting. No4 is quite possibly William Kennet, but the label has gone walk about as usual.

What inspiration !

I have just planted out a few clemmies in my garden and can only hope they do as well as yours.

Eric, I definitely have a Comtesse de Beauchard which is only in bud at the moment.  Will post a photo when it is out and we can compare.  

[Gardengirl]

As promised Eric, herewith photo of my Comtesse de Bouchard (checked the correct spelling) also a couple more of mine that have come into bloom - Nellie Moser & Rouge Cardinal.

Very pretty, your garden must be full of colour with all that lot. I have one in full flower at the moment, a miracle considering two years running I accidently chopped it off at the base with the strimmer - thought my husband would never forgive me :-[

This may sound like a very silly question, do you deadhead the flowers to keep more coming?

Here's a picture, does anyone know what it is?

[Palustris]

So it looks like my reddish one is neither Comtesse du thingy, nor Rouge Cardinal, well, think again.
No idea what the last one is either, but we do not dead head, there are far too many of them to be bothered, so cannot help there. Sorry.
