Yes! My clematis is blooming in November! It is Clematis cirrhosa 'Wisley Cream'. I really need to get outside with my camera and get some photos but I find that it's always dark - what's up with that? It has pretty little dangly bell blooms - maybe 2 inches long, pale whitish-yellow. The vine is evergreen with shiny round little leaves about the size of a quarter. I love this plant all year for it's cheery shiny foliage. And boy does this little beauty have tendrils - it is totally engulfing my front porch railing and getting tangled in my Beauty Bush. Anyway, I just wanted to brag a little bit that I actually have something IN BLOOM in November!

Very cool and congratulations! Its always exciting when things bloom in our late fall to winter months!

I should go check mine to see if its blooming too. One of my Viburnums which normally blooms in January is in full bloom right now. What's up with that?

Cool, Wanda! That Wisley Cream is a cutie! Nothing in bloom here. Maybe in a month or so.

Oh, I think I am gonna have to get me one of those!

My Armadi clematis did not survive--I think it got that fungus thingie, and then when the neighbor's moved the fence, that finished it off. So . . . since I have quite a few spring flowers, but less in the way of autum flowers, I think a C. cirrhosa is in my future.
