#clematischallenge2024 A great idea @jacaranda. This one comes back reliably year after year, this year it's gone over the fence too and I said to my neighbour I'd cut it back but she said no as it looks fabulous with her roses apparently!

I have this one too! It’s a real beauty so I’m not surprised that your neighbour is happy to have it hanging over the fence. 😂😂

#trellis Super Nova still going 💜. Been a difficult few weeks as my younger brother passed away after a short battle with cancer. I've been trying to support my 82 year old mum in coping with it all. Sometimes life just isn't fair is it. 😪

First flowers on Super Nova - if you're a clematis serial killer, then give this one a go as it's survived here for 4+ years! 😁 Had an hour's rain yesterday - not enough but better than nothing I guess. Enjoy your day 💜

Spotted the first flower on this one - it was hiding under a leaf umbrella. Rain has just stopped in this part of Hampshire but still very windy. Hope your plants are coping with the deluge. Enjoy your day. 🙂
