Title: Clematis aethusifolia and others
Post by: Kristl Walek on April 20, 2008, 06:14:17 PM

even a pinch of C. aethusifolia would do, larger quantities even more welcome.

and any other out of the ordinary reasonably hardy Clematis. I am only interested in species (not hybrids).

always have plenty to trade in return...

Kristl,

It's always amusing to see someone ask for "out of the ordinary" things .... that is so dependant on where you are.  So many common things overseas are rare as hens teeth here, and there are some things here that we regard as common yet they're uncommon overseas (and i am not just meaning native Australian plants either).  I have no idea which Clematis are common or uncommon overseas so I can't help.  :(
