  1. It's another week this year when one of out supermarket chains has Raymond Evison Clematises on sale. This time a new variety was included - Takara, aka Evipo121.

  2. Close-up of the stamens and styles (central fluffy portion) on a clematis flower. I'd normally take a photo of the whole flower but when you have macro extension tubes on the lens (for tiny insects) that's not happening. #clematis #flowers #anthers #stamens #styles #botany #ranunculaceae #plants

  3. #inMyGarden just a single spectacular flamboyant bloom from our clematis this year so far - but it is one more than last year! So gay!

  4. Clematis is also known as Leather Flower, Old Man's Beard, Pepper Vine, Traveller's Joy, and Virgin's Bower.

    The ancient Greeks used 'clematis' to refer to a whole range of climbing plants.

    It can symbolise artifice, ingenuity, love, and want.

    According to Mrs Burke's 1856 Illustrated Language of Flowers, it means 'mental beauty'.
