Clematis Gillian Blades

| Charlie Pridham sent me some Clematis Gillian Blades which are now in
flower. They are beautiful, huge white spectacular flowers.
My question is, are there other clematis with flowers as outstanding
as Gillian Blades in a mauve/pink/lilac colour?

Polish Spirit. The flowers aren't as big but the colour is outstanding.
Look it up on Google or in one of your books. It's a major favourite of
ours and looks fantastic grown near some lime-y coloured foliage plant.

Lawsoniana is a lovely pale blue and the same group as Gillian Blades, while
Blue Angel is a hard prune variety with pale blue flowers. If you wanted
something darker then the president is still a good bet. Pink for me is a
bit more tricky, Asao is lovely but not for me a big grower.

Charlie, can you send me 3 Blue Angel, same arrangement as before.
I'm away for a week but I can access the groups and my private email
address which you already have.
