The clematis has just flowered over the last couple of days. I love the colour of the petals. It contrast very well with the green fencing behind.

Only one clematis flower again so far this year! Gorgeous though isn't it?

This is the clematis flower (Clematis Piilu) that I was so pleased to see when returning from the weekend away. It looks like there will be plenty of other flowers in the future as there are many buds growing. Considering the plant is in such a shaded place it has done very well.

The name of the clematis is Clematis Piilu. Follow the link above for further information on Clemaits plants. I came across it when looking up the name of my plant and it gives a lot of detail about the care of the Clematis group of plants.

Planted out a clematis in the shady border to see how it does. I have given it three canes to climb and it appears to be doing well at the moment. Will have to look up what sort of clematis it is.
