'Clematis' in bloom....lovely huh? I have three different kinds growing in one of my flower areas and this one was the first to pop! The next plant is full of buds...and I'll bet it opens up today...smaller blooms and mostly white...and then there is my deep purple one...I can't wait to see it too!

Clematis (from Ancient Greek klematis, a climbing plant, is a genus of mostly vigorous climbing lianas, with attractive flowers. Some species are shrubby, and some others are herbaceous perennial plants. They are found throughout the temperate regions of both hemispheres, and also in mountains in the tropics. The cool temperate species are deciduous, but many of the warmer climate species are evergreen. Wikipedia
