Help identifying clematis?

20 years ago

I bought this to replace a 'Blue Bird' clematis I had received from my mother (and subsequently killed). This was purchased at a CRAGS plant sale, I'm sure it was labeled 'Blue Bird', It doesn't look very blue, any ideas what I ended up with? (I don't know much about clematis...)

Thanks!

Well no luck connecting to the CotW. The link doesn't seem to be working.

OK...here is a link to some images of Willy, which is an alpina. The color seems to range from almost white to deep pink...maybe this is it?

Here is a link that might be useful: Google images of Alpina Willy

Thanks hunner! I had to get down on my hands and knees and lift it's little head(s) to get a good look, I think you're right, looks like Willy - funny enough, the guy I bought it from is named Willy. (Shoulda out 2 & 2 together I guess!)
