Clematis

Pronounced clem-a-tis, these flowering vines have just recently made an appearance in the valley.  Common thought was they would not grow here.  However, there are many species and both the texensis and the viticella seem to be happiest in the heat.  In full sun even these will crisp up when it gets really hot.  I am so pleased this year with the blooms, probably fourth year.
