This is one of my 50p lost label bargains !  Anyone know it ? Three others to flower yet. I love growing surprises  ;D

nope, but cor!
that's a beauty MD :)
e~mail plocket she's the clem expert.
Ah ! So we have at least two clematis experts here then !! Plocket and Eric ;D  Great, I might be in luck then !
Have a look at one called Josephine, nearest I can see so far!
I just knew I could rely on you Eric ! ;D Many thanks for your research, will google now ! Is it a large flowered double then ? Never grown one of that type before. Amazing the number of layers of petals still to open. Wonderful !
Brilliant Eric ! That's the one ! Looks fabulous fully opened. A large flowered double, new introduction at Chelsea 1998. Wow! A real bargain then !  ;D
Got a job lot of four without labels, so may need your expertise again very soon ! Thanks again Eric .
There is another you may be able to find a picture of, called Patricia Ann Fretwell or Parfar which is very similar. My picture is not that clear.
What glorious colours ! Beautiful Di.
:D ;)
Eric, found the Patricia one, but not quite the same colouring. Also found a pic of what to expect of Josephine when all the layers of petals open out . Fantastic ! Can't wait ! ;D
Thanks again for your help.

P.S. Amazing how the flowers have faded with the sunshine this week, to a pale lilac pink, looking more like the colour above now.
I have a newish one just beginning to flower. I think its Josephine but Ive lost the label. :(
If it turns out to be like that I'll be one happy Maz . ;D
