Pubescent Clematis

These two Clematis blooms have been in this stage forever. I believe they are stuck in puberty or something. I like the look, but it would be nice if they would grow up.

Great b&w

[Dione Giorgio]

Wonderful shot in b&w. Love the flowers.

[BeckyS]

Pretty lines in these flowers. Shows up nicely in b&w

Actually I think this is what is left after it blooms. Beautiful shapes.

[Milanie]

This is fascinating in b&w - you notice the details so much more.

[Rick Schies]

@grammyn You know you may be right, but if that is the case, this plant never had any blooms on it. It was a real slow grower, only now beginning to stretch out.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great shot Rick - love it in B & W. It has a metallic quality.

[Nanci Hendrickson]

Love the processing on this one. Looks like wire.

I've no luck with clematis's, so I couldn't tell the difference. I think Kate might be right though. love this picture in B & W, is it SOOC except for the B & W?

[Francoise]

I love the silvery look of the flowers.

[Constance Brinkley]

I like the look of these flowers in black and white.

[Sue]

love the use of b&w for this Rik, lovely!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Well, Rick, they may be arrested adolescents, but they make for a great spiraling design in your pic!

[Shirley Banford]

Lovely shot of them.

[Sarah Bremner]

This is lovely. I think this is the 'after flower' stage but I love them too!

[Susan]

Very nice BW.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well I know they finally did, but they sure make an interesting abstract here!
