Too many of my comments start with "I used to grow this back in Illinois" - and here comes another one! I loved Clematis tangutica and even brought a starter plant with me to Austin in 1999, but it couldn't take the heat at that house. My sister took another start, so when I go back to IL I can visit Tangutica, even if I can't grow it! But I had to leave my wonderful 'Polish Spirit' at our IL house. I hope it still grows and looks as beautiful as the blooms in your photo. That's a lovely photo of the 'Polish Spirit' - that color just makes me melt!
