Clematis are wonderful as they are so unpredictable. Probably why I'm so fond of them...Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-1457975351860780842013-04-11T17:02:20.349+01:002013-04-11T17:02:20.349+01:00Thanks BW - there certainly won't be any flowe...Thanks BW - there certainly won't be any flowers this year.<br /><br />A quick trawl round the wine merchants never goes amiss John, even if you do get most of it delivered!

You can take cuttings very easily from the ends of the chopped-offness too, just in case. But you probably know that.Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-75476336941322629282013-04-11T10:19:22.662+01:002013-04-11T10:19:22.662+01:00It's huge, has taken fallen off its trellis an...It's huge, has taken fallen off its trellis and taken over most of the path and patio.
