    This is my lazarus clematis.  It 'died' for about 5-7 years and then reappeared when we were replacing a fence post

    In London. Keen but lazy.
  • How interesting!  Exactly the same thing happened with my Montana, B3.  She grew much too huge, so we cut her down to the ground.  Suddenly, six years later, she re-appeared.

    By thw way, I have a clematis that looks exactly the same as yours in your picture but I have no idea what she's called.  Do you?

  • imageWe have this clematis, but don't know the name of it either - is it the same as yours Danae dan-Ah-ee?

    Mine is a heimage. I'm not sure. I think it's clematis niobe. The sages in the site id it for me last year. I think that's what he's called - even if he's got a girlie name.

    I don't think it's the same as yours GD  no purple stripe that I can see..

  • I think mine looks a bit more like B3's, GD

    B3, of course s/he is! image   For me, though, a thing of such beauty has to be a "she^.  And here comes the pedantic point, clematis is grammatically feminine.image  Well, in Greek, at any rate.

  • And, probably, worse for a boy called Niobe?   image

  • Here is my Niobe, I think.  image

    Hi Danae, I googled clematis Niobe and all I found was star shaped, deep red flowers consisting of 6 petals, like this: https://www.wyevalegardencentres.co.uk/shop/clematis-niobe-0850021950/

    and much like B3's.  Yours appears to have only four.

    I imagine it could come in different colours too but, surely, not in different form?
