Re: Re: Clematis

Noreen,
You caught me on a generality there. It's sort of like when people say
that wisteria isn't native. I believe there is one native, but it's not
what people are generally talking about when they refer to wisteria. But
clematis is a much broader genus and I should have taken that into
consideration when i made that statement. And, to tell you the truth,
since I don't live in the desert sw (thank goodness, it's hot enough
here!) I'm not qualified to make such a broad statement as I did. Thanks
for pointing that out.

Clematis drummondii....also called the Desert Clematis, Old Man's Beard 
Clematis.
I don't know if there are more, just know about this one.  
Clematis texensis grows in the Texas desert areas.
