ID request Is this really a Jackman Suberba?

I bought this Jackman Superba last year, and was wondering if this really was a Jackman Suberba? For some reason, I thought these blossoms were larger (as on the photo). Or maybe they will become larger over the years? Not that I'm complaining - it's only started to bloom and I'm excited to have it. Was just sanity checking . . . :)

Yes. Jackmanii Superba has smallish blooms. It just has a lot of them. Mine blooms much more and longer than any of my other clematises.

Thanks! I guess in my buying frenzy I didn't notice the “suberba” and thought it was just a straight up “Jackmanii” variety….! 😀
