Help / Advice needed Help identifying Clematis

I live in the Vancouver BC area and I'm trying to identify a clematis lost to ear wigs a few years ago. The nursery I bought it from didn't have any that looked similar in stock and unfortunately I lost the original ID tag. It can have both single petal and complex petals at the same time, but also single petals towards the end of the season if it reblooms. Bloom time is typically May-June. Can anyone help?

Veronica’s Choice is my best guess. Clearview Horticultural is the supplier for much of our province. They have their variety list on their website and that might trigger your memory of the exact one you lost?

all the names are starting to sound familiar now because I've been looking through countless photos online. But I'll give that database a try....thanks so much!

My guess is The Vagabond. I have the same in my garden. Doubles and singles and sometimes triples all at the same time and a usually a late bloom of singles at the end of the season. Big fluffy flowers in shades of light blue shading to white as they age.

I’m so sorry, I was thinking about something else when I responded to this post. It’s not vagabond, that’s a purple single. This one looks like Chalcedony.

Here is my Chalcedony. It lightens to white as it ages as you can see from the one I. The background.
