November and We’re Still Blooming!
Northwestern Oregon has enjoyed an unusually lovely autumn, and the coming of the rains, late this year, have inspired a bevy of beauties to stay in bloom, or return to bloom. Here’s the rundown of which clematis are blooming, and a few pictures to whet your appetite. You will see that the winter-blooming Cirrhosa group are already well represented, with the recently pruned C. cirrhosa var. purpurascens ‘Lansdowne Gem’ rebounding and forming buds already. Also forming buds outside is C. napaulensis, and if the weather continues mild and we avoid a hard frost, we will get bloom from this species. The plants of this species inside the greenhouse should be in bloom within the next two weeks.
