This page has been added to add some appreciation of the Headgardener's efforts in raising Clematis plants. They have had very little mention on these pages since the Undergardener has had very little to do with them, except to curse their bad habit of growing too strongly and getting in his way.
He has at last got round to taking some photos of them, in flower naturally. She has nurtured many more than are shown here, but at least it's a start. Clicking the links will open an image in a new frame.
The table below is ordered in their position in the garden - from front to back. This enables herself to find the plants' names (I thought she knew them all).
