I've grown various clematis climbers during my gardening lifetime but I've never grown one that gives so much as Dr Ruppel. Not only does it flower prolifically (at least, mine does) but the flowers are beautiful, they have amazing reproductive organs (I'm sure they won't mind my saying so!) and the pollinating insects find them attractive too. More more can I ask? These are a couple of macro photographs that I took of the seed heads the other day. The climber is still in full bloom with plenty of more buds yet to open - if the weather allows them to. Winter is coming.
