We had our Annual February meeting of the Wessex Group of the British Clematis Society this morning. The best attended meeting so far, must have been over 50 peeps, from as far away as Isle of Wight (not so far as the crow flies) and Sussex.
The speaker was Charlie Pridham
http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk/The talk was on Viticella Clematis, and of course plants were for sale.
Despite having really no room for any more Clematis, we came away with two more
now makes 120 different Clems.
So now our WPG has risen to 1101 entries, which includes 11 pictures of the garden. I am really looking forward to compleating the pictures that are missing from 150 ish of the plants in the WPG, I must not miss any as they flower during the coming season.
Raced home after the meeting, didn't stop for the dinner, it was such a lovely day, managed to get some painting done in the back garden, and started repotting some of the Dahlias, that we overwinter dry, in their pots.
