Re: Help with plant ID

Well, that IS viney, not a shrub type, so forget what we said b4. Have to give this more thought.
VERRRY nice, BTW.

Well, here's the plant and the trellis it rode in on:

for different perspective.  It is odd.  It sprawls for about 2 feet
on the east side of the stand thing, but it does not appear to be
going in the tree (unlike I may have led Chris to believe).  I'm
not sure it's still growing.

Maybe we are on a toxic waste dump!

That does seem odd. I got 2 C.h. from Seneca Hill. Mine has never gone
over 3 ft and the one I got for CES is 3-4 ft. It likes to grow laterally
and tends to be sort of sprawly. I'd guess Karen's might be neither C.h nor
C. i., but yet another shrub-type Clematis. RHS says C.h. grows only to 5
ft and C.i. only to 3.3 ft.
