Some new clematis
(Its a long story...but) Yesterday I at last managed to restore my 2006 archive containing images of some new plants which first-flowered in 2006, together with some second-year flowers and one or two plants from previous years. It is at http://www.bcollingwood.com/archive_2006.htm
2006 was a good season, especially for new species and hybrid plants from subsection viorna, also for new large-flowered hybrids and some viticellas etc. I wa… Continue

Welcome to the LJN and thanks for joining - I will start a Clematis growers group and send you an invite.
I have about 17 members who have all joined in the last 7 days so hopefully we can grow this and get some real discussions going - if you have any friends or associates who might be interested, perhaps you can alert them with an invite from your account?
All the best

Good to hear from you. I shall be interested to see carrizoensis 'in the flesh' as it were. have you thought of making a 'standard' sheet from it, not just a specimen sheet. That, I suspect will become more and more popular over time, and it does have the advantage of the right colours, which is always helpful.

There seems to be a problem when you try to start a discussion. I have emailed the links to the developers to try and find out why?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
All the best

I have just looked around your glass house at Wisley Hall Garden Centre - you are immaculately tidy :)
Am I right in assuming that you are growing for a hobby but selling your produce in the garden centre?
Need some of your advice about C.Armandii. URGENTLY! Hope to speak soon.
I received this from a client this evening. The garden was planted last September. Armandii are difficult, stroppy Clematis from experience, but can you help?
the clematis armandii is being eaten alive apparently from the top down, the bottom leaves are so far looking good but the top ones are disappearing fast. Bizarrely I can only find what I think are shield bugs on the plant and no reference anywhere that these are a problem...I can't see anything else though but having tracked through quite a lot of beetles online can't find anything else that resembles the critters on my plant. I have put slug pellets around the base as assumed in the first instance that it was slugs and snails..I guess earwigs would be the next assumption - do shield bugs snack on them?
