(TB) 'Clematis'

1917, Bliss related links........... Flat Flowers

'Clematis' ( Arthur J. Bliss, R. 1917) TB. 30" Midseason bloom. Color Class B3M. 'Cordelia' x 'Princess Beatrice'.

From Rainbow Gardens catalog for 1925: "Unique. Shaped like an exceptionally fine Japanese iris or a large six-petaled Clematis. All six segments of the flower reflects horizontally. Color light clear violet with variable veining at the base. Strong grower, free flowering and fragrant."

Notes: After observing this iris for the past several years I have noticed a few habits it has: It tends to put up stalks over a long bloom season, with the blooms that open early in cool weather rarely showing any tendency to being flat and appearing as normal iris flowers, while those opening late in warmer temps do tend to exhibit the flat form it is famous for. In between times they tend to sloppiness as the some petals go one way and the rest others. I would call it a 'broken color' as well. Grows like a weed. - Mike Unser, WA a flat Novelty Iris
