    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is a Dr. Ruppel.

    Oh, my, that is stunning. It looks more like a Clematis Bees Jubilee tho.

    Lovely clematis! I always get confused since many look so alike it's hard to tell them apart.

    If you vaguely remember buying the Dr. Ruppel, then I bet that is it!!!! :rolleyes: They are very close in comparison indeed. This one does have a sort of ruffle to the petals like Dr. Ruppel though. . .
