I very much enjoyed reading about the life of Uno Kivistik and his work with Clematis. The article read much like a poem.
I now about Kivistiks history.
We have ordering clematis from him and they are very fin plants ( and cheap)
To get them to sweden dont cost so much and now when Estonia is member of EU we dont need to pay any extra tax.
One day I want to go to his nursery in person.
