NZ Clematis Flowers

Clematis paniculata - (Puawhananga) MALE

Unknown (by us!) Clematis at Dursley

As with many species, the male seems to be 'prettier' than the female! We are not certain of the botanical name of the Clematis at Dursley, but it is likely to be the female of it's form. Isn't this a fascinating contrast between the two different vines?
Does anybody out there know exactly which clematis the second plant is?

Welcome to Dursley Garden

Dursley is a large country garden surrounding a family home, and is open to the public. The owner and 'Head Gardener' is Judith Callaghan. Judith welcomes garden visitors through-out the year, as the garden changes significantly from season to season.

The large nature of the garden means there are expansive plantings of various plants featuring at any one time - from roses, and perennials in summer, to daffodils, tulips and hellebores in winter and spring. Visit the pages below for more detail, and to see some of the feature plantings at Dursley.

For those who adore good old fashioned hospitality and country gardens, Judith would love to see you.............
