No idea where it got the 'infection' from. I may get it back on Tuesday.

Just got back from my friend's 80th birthday bash (hog roast - yummy). After reading on here about Taylors Clematis, I ordered a lovely one called 'Happy Birthday' to be sent to her home, with a birthday message from me. It arrived exactly when I'd requested, beautifully packed, a good sized, healthy plant with 4 flowers, so I would have no hesitation in using this company again. I can't remember who it was recommended them, but thank you ;D

Thank you Grindle ;D They are excellent, before I ordered I sent them an email to check they would include a message (and remove the price tag

) and Chris emailed back almost immediately with an answer. So often we have to put up with mediocre service, its really pleasing when companies are so efficient. I shall use them again, I have my eye on C.Abundance, a pretty pink clematis to put with my purple one

Do you think it is the right shade of pink to be grown with a dark purple clematis Lou? I'd be interested in your opinion as its always difficult to judge colour on a website

Its dificult to tell Peony....mine is near Etoile Violette with a tiny white one in between.....which lifts the colour.....don't think I would like them side by side.......hope this helps

It does Lou ;D On their website it looks quite a bright pink, not darkish pink, so I think I'll look again and perhaps go for something else for the arch and find another place for 'Abundance'
