Clematis Life Cycle

I have several Clematis joyfully taking over my yard. And one thing I discovered in my ongoing gardening experiment is that plants are just as delightful going to seed as they are in bloom.





In full bloom, vanilla fragrance, in a bad need of a trim. I really do prune it, but if loves that spot and it like a monster, a couple of years ago took over the windows and even made it to the roof of our house!
