There's the Quebec Alpine & Rock Garden Society, but I don't know if they run hypertufa workshops. Will have to investigate! I have been researching how to build them, but would much rather buy them. I'm lazy that way :)

I've been buying them so far, but the Calgary Rock and Alpine Garden Society does run workshops to build your own. Assume you have similar in Montreal?
Could it be Lady Northcliffe? You mentioned it's a little bluer in the photo than its true colour. http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=489

I'm not a clematis expert but in past years, I grew several varieties on my balcony. I miss them...but the space is better used for edible crops.
Hello, again. I think this may be _the_ resource to use to ID this -- or any -- clematis: http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/index.cfm You can search by tepal colour and anther colour. So I'll put in blue and white and see what comes back. I really should be making up seed order lists but...this is a fun diversion & I won't rest until I provide you with some possibilities.
Oh boy. I feel bad about this one since the colour balance is off in this picture, and I haven't colour-corrected it! It's a bit bluer than I would like due to my silly cameraphone's light sensor being on the fritz!

ReplyDeleteThanks! Been following your site for a while and in fact it has inspired me to give growing alpines a try! Did you make your own hypertufa troughs?
ReplyDeleteAfter a couple of days of poking around the Clematis site ... I give up! For now, I'm happy to know it's a clematis :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue. Always nice to meet another balcony gardener.

Please do! I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I also have a picture of the leaves; will this help?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! The color is amazing.....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'm going to have to consult my Raymond Evison clematis book to determine which one this is. Just the kind of mystery I love to solve.
