Bernadine to me is amazing. It is already popping out buds. According to the hybridizer Raymond Evison, it is superb in a shady spot, and that's one reason I wanted it, because it is in shade quite some time in this particular garden space. I'm sorry I don't have a picture of the buds, computer acting up in regards to uploading pics, have to get that fixed.

So far, the computer is now cooperating so here are a few pics of Bernadine.




Crystal Fountain has also just started to bloom, those stamens are amazing!

Beautiful, I am awaiting mine to start blooming, buds everywhere.

Avedon.. very nice 👍 beautiful blooms..

More Bernadine pictures. In a certain light the blooms can appear to have a silver cast.



Piilu is starting to bloom now.

Six months later and here are a couple of pictures of Bernadine. Whenever the weather cools down, the clematis always starting reblooming.
I like this picture with the way the flowers are arranged on the vine.

So back again with Bernadine--this is doing just great for us. It blooms so early even though there have been some quite cold temps during March. We don't protect it at all but it doesn't seem to be affected.

It sure is a beauty!!

I bought H.F. Young last year, it's exploded into bloom, stacked on top of each other!
