Purple Clematis

May 22, 2013 by Mike Powell

I don’t know much about the Clematis flower, but I found these purple ones to be amazingly beautiful this past weekend at Green Spring Gardens, a county-run horticultural center. I can’t decide if I like them better in a group, as in the first photo, or individually, as in the second photo.

  Thanks. I also was struck by the vibrant color and am happy that I was able to capture it pretty well.

One of my favorite flowers. We had some really nice ones before we moved. Unfortunately, I have been told they don’t grow well here. You photo may inspire me to try anyway. Thanks.

  Thanks. As I mentioned in the post, I am not very familiar with them, but found them to be amazingly beautiful. Best wishes in your efforts to grow them.
