EP is the mammoth in my garden. The first photo shows only a small corner of its total expanse.
Blue Pirouette. The colour is accurate (on my monitor anyway) - it seems a lot bluer than Marie's, but who knows.
Catherine Clanwilliam. Not a lot of flowers so far in this, its second year in my garden.
Comtesse de Bouchaud. This one is new, just planted it this spring (thanks to inspiration from Monique ). It is even prettier than I expected so I'll plant a second in the autumn.
Teksa again, to remind you how pretty it is.

Simply breathtaking, Mara. Your Teksa looks as if fairy dust has been tossed over the flower. It glistens ! And, your garden looks lovely and so inviting. Suzy

Mara, you have a beautiful classic garden setting. I hope "Catherine Clanwilliam" and "Blue Pirouette" will someday make their way into my garden. Terry

Mara, you have a 'fairytale' garden! Everything in it is enchanting. My Emilia Plater, which showed such promise last year, seems to have 'given up the ghost'. I'm amazed at the size of yours!

Mara, I LOVE your posts. These clematis are so beautiful! Teska and Blue Pirouette are so amazing. How long have you been collecting clematis, you have the greatest varities? Jamie

Ironically, E. Plater is also my biggest right now (can we really have the same bloom times?!). I'm glad you posted C. Clanwilliam; I've been intrigued by her. The Comtesse is by far my favorite mauve/pink (although I'm not sure if there is another with that hue).

Your Emilia is gorgeous Mara! Mine needs more direct sun..it is huge but the color has too much green in it...and I moved it from the sunny spot! Just love that overall view of the garden corner Mara... Hope that the snail (that hides in there) did not have a taste of your Blue Pirouette! Catherine Clanwilliam is the one I would love to get my hands on...and you did convince me Mara to the beauty of Teksa!

It is so lovely, Mara. I don't think I've ever seen it from that angle and showing your charming gate. What a beautiful hydrangea next to the Big and Beautiful Emilia. Mine is just starting to flower. It is one of my all-time favorites for bloom power and color. Blue Pirouette reminds me a little of Petit Faucon. Teksa is so pretty too. I see the snail too but thought it was part of a support :-o

Emilia P is already on my must have list, but I see I need to add Teksa. I like this one better than Tye Dye. I wonder if it is available in Canada. The pics in COWT do not do it justice. You need to send them one of yours.

OOHHH! AAHHH! Look at all those gorgeous blooms. It's also great to see more of your garden. Mighty fine hydrangea. Mine is tiny in comparison.

What a shower of Blooms, Mara. Your expanse of Clematis is breathtaking to watch. I could only hope (against hope) to have such a display ever. They are Gorgeous. It is so nice to see the complete corner of your garden with this attractive gate and the wall. So perfect for the Clematis to climb up on. I would guess that living in Zone 7 a does not hurt either.
