Clematis

It's one of my favourites in the garden right now.
Of course the roses provide vivid colour, but I think there are few flowers as delicate as the clematis which are at their best this week. Some blooms are double and provide glorious shades against the garage wall, but it is this special one with uniquely variegated petals climbing the kitchen wall which catches my eye the most, simply because of its fine but fragile texture.
