Author Message   Bcollingwood  My Garden Posted on Friday, December 05, 2003 - 01:56 am EST :    You don't have to be an expert to grow clematis from seed, even ordinary amateurs, such as you, or I, can manage it. But next Summer you can go one step further, and hybridise your own plants, if you wish. You don't need a degree in Botany, or complex technical equipment! You can do it in the greenhouse, or in the garden, at a pinch. Here are a few suggestions and details. http://www.richardsdad.btinternet.co.uk/updates.htm Bcollingwood - Manchester, Zone "UK"   Marciam  My Favorite Photo Posted on Friday, December 05, 2003 - 05:32 am EST :    Wow, I love it! Wonderful detail in the diagrams and photos, Brian, and great explanations of the process. The charts are wonderful, too! I hope I can get organized and enthusiastic about trying this when the flowers start forming next year. Will you please encourage us again at that time??

I'll most likely try it this summer. In fact, I know I will ! Hmmmm, which two shall I cross ? Thank you ! Suzy Suzymac - Massachusetts, Zone "6-7"
