tamileeb: I've had mine for about 3 years now and I do like cooking on it. The only thing I didn't like was how those daisy burners concentrated the heat in the center of the pan, but I got a 20$ cast iron enameled heat diffuser ring from Amazon and that solved the problem. If you do a turkey for Thanksgiving, you should try it with the gas turned off. Preheat @ 500 for 20 mins, then turkey in and leave the gas on for about 15 more minutes (going from memory here) shut it down and let 'er go. I think I had to re-fire it after 3 hrs for about 10 minutes or so but I figure I cooked a 20# turkey with about 45 minutes of gas. Pretty amazing stuff. I'm liking the shape of that last hood, too. Think it's getting close!

Ferny looking foliage? If so, Euphorbia cyparissias. If regular, oblong shaped leaves, Euphorbia epithymoides, aka cushion spurge. It would help to see the foliage, but I'm leaning towards the cushion spurge.

Thanks so much for your suggestions everyone. Jeri, I have not yet rooted cuttings, but I think it is time for me to try it out! Thanks for the link. I went to the Antique Rose Farm in Snohomish today, and the Heritage Roses NW Society folks (who had a display there this weekend) looked at the pictures and also suggested Paul Ricault. Whatever it is, I am so curious about it that I think I need to try and propagate it!

Notice that HF Young is a bit lighter than the original and has petals that overlap unlike the gaps between petals of the original. As GG48 said well upthread, there are many, many similar clematis that may have somewhat different growth patterns, and though sometimes there are distinct enough flowers to be fairly sure of the ID, others are far less easy to ID, in particular the various shades of blue and purple are difficult. Also, IME labels at big box store are fairly often incorrect, even when they have labels. As others have suggested, wait until it has been in the ground a couple of years in order to determine when the bloom period is and then base the pruning style on period of bloom. In my garden, if it blooms when the other type 2s bloom, with or before the Siberian iris in late spring, it gets a light pruning right after bloom, type 2. (Obviously that bloom time would be earlier in your garden.) Otherwise it gets hard pruned in winter or very early spring before full leaf out, type 3.
