Clematis

[CannedMonster]

I have 4 different clematis plants on my property.
It’s interesting to me that only one is blooming right now and it’s the only one I tossed the chicken poo and bedding near for months now.
The other three are budding but no blooms yet. Leaves are also smaller.

It’s probably due to the nutrients, clematis are voracious for fertilizers at this growing stage, are they the same specie? I’ve noticed also that the one blooming the roots(feet) are more shaded. Clematis are know for liking the shaded lower part (feet)

You appear to have several different types of clematis. Your first pic. is of a 'macropetala' I believe, I dont know the variety. Considered to be a 'Group 2' for pruning purposes. Nice looking plant BTW. The other two may be 'Jackmanii, or taxensis' later blooming with smaller flowers but very, very floriferous. Pruning 'Group 3'.
