I couldn't make this up. I have a clematis named Princess Diana planted last year because it is supposed to be good at climbing and besides it is cheap because the line is not as popular as it was. I also have a Camelia in the same bed. This was not a good idea I now realise.
Two weeks ago the Camelia flowered and I have to say even newly flowered like that it is disappointing as it looks blown and faded already.
The clematis seems to have died.
