You may want to note that in warmer climates like yours, this plant can be an invasive pest, spreading by seed to other yards and wild areas. This far north it seems to be less of a problem since it doesn't appear that the seeds have time to ripen before hard freeze.

I will trade clematis seeds, but no way to contact you--new site has limitations

There is a specific forum for trading. Look under 'Exchanges' on the list of Garden Web fora.

gary11, I can't get message you - don't see that you have that on.

I can send clem for postage.

piksi_hk and gary11, here are directions for setting your profile to allowing email contact:

Go to Your Houzz in upper right of every page, click Edit Profile, and on the left side click advanced settings. Well down the advanced settings page under Who can message me is a drop down menu. Choose Allow anyone to message me and you might also want to change over the drop down menu that's a bit farther up the page to send you an email every time someone sends you a message so that you know when you have an email.

Then return to the top of the page and click Done Editing.

Sorry Babs I got to advanced settings, but my page has no such choices for who can message me etc and nothing for me to activate........my email address is not even on my profile....thanks for trying....

Then edit your profile to include your email address, under 'Account Information'. It is not publicized so do not be afraid you will get bombarded with unwanted emails. With your email activated, you can also get notification of followers, those who liked your comments and thank yous from OP's, etc., but all filtered through Houzz rather than directly. Once the email's activated, you should then get the drop down that allows messaging under the provision you specify.
