-----------------
It has happened much since that. A few of them are dead, but there are several new, so I should have about 100 different alltogether.
'Ernest Marham' was not visible during 1998 at all, but is now alive.
terniflora and 'Valge Daam' only had a rest period of one season, the latter beeing now stronger than ever before.
Here are the Clematis flowering in my garden now.
