| While walking in the neighborhood I noticed a Clematis in a weedy flower bed. The owners did not know it was there.
I explained about fertilizer and that I had the right type and would they want me to apply it. They were pleased. I mixed up rose fertilizer about 5 weeks ago and this is the first time the plant has flowered. It looks a bit darker in person. I'm sure it's an older variety and common. Thanks for your help. Carol

| Comtesse de Bouchard? Inspiration 'Zoin'? |

| Definately Comtesse de Bauchaud |

| Thank you for the replies. The true color of the Clematis flower is darker than it appears in the picture. I grow Comtesse de Bouchard which is paler than this Clematis. Because of the paler color, I've now paired it with a dark purple hybrid Clematis. A friend thinks it may be Madame Edouard Andre. The flower shape is very similar. |
