  • Question

    This Clematis is growing on the roadside--presumably an escapee from a nearby garden. Since it is blooming now (mid-July), does that make it C. recta rather than C. terniflora? I'm not familiar with either. Or is it something else? Thanks! PS, I'm having trouble uploading multiple images. It keeps grabbing the same image (looks like others have that issue as well).

    Answer

    Dear KyleJones, I can't tell you for certain which species of Clematis you are viewing due to the fact that only one image of your series will currently load on Go Botany. If you can send them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org, I can examine them and provide you with a more confident answer. Please also include your general location. Thank you.
