I've had this clemetis for 9 years, it was given to me when my dear neighbour passed on, she had it for many years prior to that. I have been unable to identify it at websites dealing with various Clemetis. She had told me that it was a Jackmanii, but searching that variety I was unable to find a match, could anyone out id this variety for me, thank you.
If that picture is of an old, deteriorating flower, than it looks similar to this: http://www.brushwoodnursery.com/clematis_multiblue.htm
I googled Vyvyan Pennell and the pictures that come up have the same coloring but not the few number of pedals that mind has, I can also see the center of mine, where as in the VP it is totally covered.
Really? this one looks strikingly similar: http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/scoutsadie_1118503931_152.jpg Keep in mind that they are very diverse and even specific species/cultivars can vary in color and petal number.
My husband reminded me with a little more info regarding this plant, it blooms double blooms in early summer and then has single blooms later towards Sept. With this info I think it may be the variety called "Royalty" I checked the following website.http://www.classicclimbers.com
