The "odd" double in Spritz' clematis

Beautiful colour...

It is strange that many of the flowers are doubles - they're not supposed to be!

It really is a gorgeous colour! I wish mine would flower.....but I've suffered some terrible slug damage this year, and a lot of mine were chewed to the ground in the spring....it's so frustrating when that happens! Grrrrr!

Lovely deep colour and look good against the white wall.

Yes, it does...and I'm sorry to hear about your nasties, K. :-((

Thanks...it can't be helped. I do my best, but in the spring they are very hungry, and before the Hostas emerge, clems seem to be their favourite food.

Its earwigs that do for my clems Karen (:0(

Hmmm...hate those, and I get them too. I wonder......

my clems are chewed to skeletons this year too...I'm about to give up. wanted to establish them near the house with a large obelisk and a climbing rose...Guess it won't be this year! ...again...sigh. I have a funny blossom distortion thing happening on my echinaceas...do you think it might be caused by the insects. Rose chafers have done my roses this year..and once they're done the earwigs move in to finish the job! Once you get those things they are very hard to get rid of. ...did I say "hard"...try impossible.

I know Lori...even the birds don't like them!
