Clematis 'Taiga'

Flowers galore this year. Still not sure about it though 🤔

It’s lovely Dave🤗

I know what you mean, Dave. There’s a bit too much going on there!!! 😳

A big improvement on last year elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Just a bit Dave....🙄 only kidding it’s fabulous mine has made a miraculous recovery and I have 2 flowers starting to open and it’s taking off at the bottom again...💜👍🏼

Doing much better this year.

Absolutely stunning 💜💚

@sabbanrula Thanks rula. It was tiny last year, with just two flowers, so its doing well.

With you care I’m sure it will be massive in no time 💚💜

Beautiful 💜💚💜

Absolutely beautiful

It's a beauty Dave. Just got to get one of these for next year 👍

Looking good Dave....💜💚

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom a lot better than last year elaine.

It’s gorgeous 😍💗

It’s done really well and to think they were scraggy little things when we got them..😀

That’s nice

Last year only one flower. This year its loaded with them.

Not bad going Dave....that’s a vast improvement...I’m still on the fence with this one....🤔

They soon bulk out Dave n it will have more in a month or so too 👍😄

Looking good Dave.....mine has gone..no more !!

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom was it all the wind a couple of weeks ago elaine ?

Stunning 💜💚💜

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co yes Dave it got blown to bits and was all limp so I cut it right back to the bottom 🤷🏼‍♀️

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 😢 it might surprise you elaine, and romp back quickly 🤞🤞🤞

I’m not bothered Dave I’m going off it....but I’ll just leave it and see what happens and look at yours instead...😆

First flower bud on my #clematis-taiga . Hows yours doing elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co I’ll show you...👌🏼

Mine didn’t come up again😢

@joanboston can't you blame Geoff, Joan. He'll get you another one then 😊

I have already replaced it and put the taiga in a pot. The roots looked so alive. I have another 30 odd clematis. Did I mention I like clematis?😀 @pelly

Maybe once or twice Joan 😂😂😂 I lost my taiga too, I hope yours pulls through 👍 @joanboston

Morning all. I think this is as good as its going to get this year .

@pelly it must be doing ok then jane, their very delicate when they first arrive.

This is my second attempt and nothing 🤦‍♀️

@pelly @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co @suerichards well that looks healthy enough to me Dave....your leaves are much lighter in colour than mine..and you’re right they were delicate when they came....

I’ve got three buds Dave 👍👍

@pelly 😪😪😪

I’ve got one flower out and twenty buds @Pelli @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co @suerichards

No sign of mine 🤦‍♀️

Heres mine elaine, what do you think ? @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Haha I love that brickwork too!

Oh that looks great Dave it’s about the same as mine..I think they’ll be fine..👍🏼😉

@cazstaks its an old garden wall caroline 😁

Its lovely Dave I love old walls in gardens gives real character rather than a boring brand new wall 👍

My taiga is looking good too Dave, it’s been a reasonable winter

@joanboston how old is yours joan ?

Just got it last year Dave, I’ll post a photo tomorrow

Mine is probably slightly smaller, but it's looking good Dave 👍👍

Mine's much smaller still but starting to put on growth 🙄

Hope she gives you more joy than my last 3 attempts @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

@Sephy oh great, i hope their not difficult to keep, or ill kill it, thats for sure 😂
