Clematis

[ext_2206725]

One of my favorite flowers. I had a trellis with pink roses and a white clematis. It was lovely. I had other clematis plants, too, Etoile Violet being one of my favorites.

Clematis and roses go so well together. On one gable wall of my house there's a mix of a rose, clematis and honeysuckle. Unfortunately it's all covered in scaffolding at the moment so the effect is wasted.

Etoile Violette is a lovely clematis.

I just wish it were white

It may not be white but it is beautiful. I love the variegated petals. My clematis are still growing and have yet to produce buds.

It is very pretty but you have to get up close to admire the flowers. I want to see a billowing mass from a distance.

I adore clematis of any variety. It's a shame you haven't got your white Montana but the Boughton Star is still very pretty :)

It *is* pretty and has so many flowers on it!
