took another shot of my summer white clem combo. alba luxurians and m le coultre (marie boisselot as also, incorrectly i now understand, known). alba luxurians is such an interesting clem. nothing really like it i am aware of.
vigorous as a vitacella normally is. establishes pretty easy. the blooms can be moody, hanging bit when weather is wet or when they first open. but the overall uniqueness of the clem, with many blooms showing green sepals makes it a must for the clem collector.
i actually don't like it with a colored clem, i think it looks best with a white so the variations in the greenish sepals and shades of white as the bloom mature are the focal point..and the tiny center of the flower (it is almost black) pops out more. this clem is also good with just climbing hydrangea or ivy to offset it's unique look.
this one is with climbing hydrangea moonlight and the pure white clem...and that is enough going on for sure, especially near the house as planted.
