    Hi All

    My Clematis Montana is flowering and has quite a lot of buds which it hasn't done before in September , also I thought I would mention my Wisteria the parts I couldn't reach without a ladder to summer prune a had quite a lot of flowers growing on the new growth at the ends.

    Anyone else noticed anything unusual for this time of year.

          I think Shiney mentioned the same thing happening to his Kerria Japonica as mine......i.e. it's flowering again after flowering at it's correct time in Spring.:dunno::snork:
