Clematis in full glory. This beautiful vine is growing in a shady location in a neighbor’s garden. The incredible blossoms are 5 inches across.

Did you know there is a clematis web hot line of sorts called helpmefind.com. It is also devoted to peonies and roses.

Bloom your hearts out, lovely clematis. It’s a short season, so give it all you got!

Thanks to FB for reminding me! Four years ago I enjoyed a morning trip to Giverny and took this shot of Monet’s lovely sitting room, filled with his paintings.
