I have been living in USA long enough that I was not sure how I used to pronounce the name, I think the same way you do. I guess it really doesn't matter. I have fallen in love with this lovely plant and will add to my collection as time goes by.Jennifer AKA keeweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107693230744190952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-69190510643564506632008-04-25T22:04:00.000-07:002008-04-25T22:04:00.000-07:00I have always pronounced it Cla-Mat-Is.

I just followed the old advice of roots in the shade and flowers in the sun. Also make sure that you cover the stem well above the root flare. This protects in case there is a break in the somewhat delicate stem. This V de L has performed well every single year.

Do you do anything special to help it grow? I didn't think the big showy clematis did well in Austin, but you and Annie in Austin are growing them beautifully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-72536350010761731632008-04-24T05:32:00.000-07:002008-04-24T05:32:00.000-07:00I have always had that problem with correct pronun...I have always had that problem with correct pronunciation.

I only recently found out that kalanchoe isn't pronounced, "cull-On-cho," but rather, "Cal-en-co-ey." My family doesn't believe me, either.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you've started a weblog!
