You are quite welcome and I do appreciate the thanks.

Long ago I saw a friend's Jackmanii and asked which clematis it was since mine looked nothing at all like hers. It was one and the same plant.

Another DG friend has a Nelly Moser in full sun and it's lovely but very pale with a barely noticeable pink bar whereas mine drooped to the ground (my own fault for insufficient support) but are vivid in color when the earwigs don't dine on them.

No matter how hard or how often I trim back the Jackmanii by the compost it leaps out of the ground ready to go again and it blooms all over again. In fact, it has to be slashed again sometime this week. It's totally covered the compost bin and we need to use the compost.

This one, in dappled shade, is much better behaved.
