I rescued about 7 clematis from an old area that I had no idea they were still in. There was a very, very, very annoying weed that came up and took over as well as sudden terrible drainage issues and I just ended up throwing up my hands and walking away, I was so frustrated. (Had just started a new job, too, so didn't have time nor energy for a battle). Three years later, now that things have settled down a bit (right!), I decided to rescue what I could from that area. I can't find the plan that I had at the time for that bed. I may have tossed it years ago, thinking I would never refer to it. Bottom line, I don't know which clematis was planted where. Here's what I do know. These are the clematis that I know I have purchased in the past:

Rebecca
Henryi
Marie Louise Jensen
Pink Champagne
Snow Queen
H F Young
Bourbon

There may very well be one or two that I am missing, so this list isn't exhaustive. I know from memory that I bought Bourbon and Rebecca, but don't seem to have a tag for them. I have two clems that are blooming already. Can I get some help IDing these? As the others bloom, I will post for them as well. There is probably only 5 different types. The others were runners that rooted themselves, so I just started a new pot with them. Thanks so much

Could this one be bourbon?
