440. Clematis blossom

My entry to "Looking close...on Friday" came as a surprise. I posted this photo without knowing of this week's subject. I think this pic shows the beautiful texture of the Clematis flower.

This is how a big Clematis flower looks when it is time to emerge from the stem with a new bud ;-)

This photo was taken in the Spring. Right now the garden is almost bare, other than a few roses here and there :-)
