Clematisguru........thank you for the warm welcome. I myself have quite a few clematis growing in my garden, and always looking for something more or different. I fell in love with the Guernsey Cream, and imagine my surprise to discover that Raymond J. Evison is the one who cultivated this magnificent flower.

I have Mr. Evison's book CLEMATIS FOR SMALL SPACES and had the opportunity to go to a lecture he was talking at in Michigan. Myself and two other gardeners from my area traveled about 170 miles in a snow storm to hear him speak. We had already purchased tickets for an entire day of speakers put on by Horticultural Magazine. Was well worth the drive and what the hay, whats a few inches of snow, we Michigian folk are use to the snow.

I checked out both websites you suggested, and Silver Star is the only one to carry Guernsey Cream. I will check with some local places in the coming weeks.

By the way, your gardens are to die for...
