That little nova one tugged at my heartstrings, for sure. Gorgeous! My C. sieboldii went bonkers this year, and I'm still enjoying quite a large number of flowers from it. It's been my best one this year, amidst lots of botched transitions. Hope most of them recover next year...Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-88979835285043397652019-07-05T17:17:22.815-07:002019-07-05T17:17:22.815-07:00What a wonderful collection of clematis.

But I have become smitten with a small-flowered herbaceous clematis that I saw growing at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Apparently, it is hardy to zone 4 and likes sandy soil and rock gardens. It is <i>Clematis ochroleuca</i> (curleyheads), which gets small white bell-shaped flowers in late spring/early summer, but which is really grown for its seed heads, which look like sculptures made of copper wire.

I'm impressed by your clematis and geranium collections, both featuring varieties I've never even heard of. I'm working myself up to investing in another clematis or 2. One winter of great rain creates the delusion, usually temporary, that I can grow anything I'd like...Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
