🤔 That red one looks like a Red Cardinal.....or Rebecca, but I ain’t sure. It’s a very striking colour, look good in a “hot” border👍

We don’t actually grow clematis, but we do have one. This was well established when we bought the house, over 30 years ago, and flowers every May. We’re at 1,000ft and it’s growing in an exposed spot on a west facing wall, so it’s pretty hardy.
Don’t know what it is, but expect it’s something cheap and cheerful!

It’s a Montana, a very big one by the looks😁 Great for fast growth and climbing along walls, over sheds and up into trees.

This was our Montana a couple of weeks ago. It's lost much of its colour now, probably due to lack of rain.

This wind today has just about stripped all the flowers off the Montana, but another one has just come into bloom. Yet again we don't know its name.
