A near to Black Clematis
Lyn and Malcolm:
The darkest one I have seen yet, unless you know any different ?
Raised from seed by an Irish Man. ;D

What a lovely surprise! Its a pleasure to have you back on the forum again Malcolm :D
As for the Clematis, it wasn't me ;D - I read on that web page it was one of my Irish neighbours Seamus O'Brien :D
Would you believe it - in my Engineering days I used to work in Finglas, fairly close to Glasnevin in Dublin.
Are you thinking of buying it Malcolm? Ive had a look through your vast collection of Clematis and don't see it on your WPG plants list (yet!) here:

Lyn and Malcolm:
We probably won't be getting that Clematis George :'(, although we will be attending our 'Wessex' Clematis group meeting in a months time, where they will be taking orders from anyone who wants one. ;D
We do have several C.Alpinas here, they tend to be a bit straggly, only supposed to be lightly pruned not too long after flowering.
But that one sure looks nice. :P

I grew black tulips once and I proudly showed them to my sister when visiting - she was horrified!
Still, if its a colour break in a plant, I am interested. Much better than "new" cultivars which are released and which would require DNA tests to tell the difference from existing varieties ;D

I wholeheartedly agree with you on that George.
