Me too, Kitty.  That's the prettiest clematis I've ever seen and would be
lovely in my blue garden.

Blessings,

Ceres, I googled it and found it listed both as a cultivar of Clematis
jouiniana and C. heracleifolia.
Then I checked the name w RHS and they list it as Clematis 'Mrs. Robert
Brydon'.  I wondered if it might be a cross of these 2 species. So I checked
by running Clematis jouiniana and that is actually Clematis x jouiniana,
apparently another hybrid of 2 species.  ANd I noted that the RHS searches
of both C. jouiniana and C. heracleifolia brought up Clematis 'Mrs. Robert
Brydon'.

I wish someone would create a site for Clematis as findmy roses has for
roses.  They give absolutely everything, right down to the parentage.

BTW - I really WANT this Clematis!
