Clematis 'New Love' and Guardians of the Galaxy?

I received two new Clematis Heracleifolia 'New Love' plants recently and popped them into pots. They have started to put out new shoots and one plant in particular reminded me of something, but I couldn't quite think of what.  Then it came to me.  Bizarre as it seems, it was Baby Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy film!

There is a slight resemblance, isn't there, or is it just me? OK, just me then.
I have been a bit late to the Marvel party and am only just getting caught up with the various main Avengers films and spin-offs.  I am a definite fan of the Avengers though - I think it's the humour that really appeals to me.

Last week I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  Rocket the genetically modified and engineered Raccoon and Baby Groot, who can now walk, stole the film I think.  There was much more character development and the film leads nicely onto the next (whenever that comes out).  
There are loads of clips and info about the films out there, but be careful of the spoilers if you haven't seen the films yet.

  1. I haven't seen them (and probably won't). Movies are not my thing.
    Love that Clematis though.

  2. Thanks, EC. The clematis is one that I have been wanting for some time. It will grow to about 90cm in height and should have pretty purple/blue flowers. It isn't one that clings so shouldn't get too out of hand. I have 'Wyevale' too, which is bigger in scale and has scented pale blue/purple flowers. They die down in winter and seem to be easy to look after so far.
    I am sure it will feature in future blog posts.
    Best wishes
