Great close-up. The pink and white clematis is gorgeous. I'm still looking for a blue one to photograph.

@jenniferruge - Thank you Jennifer!! It is the only one on the plant right now. The plant was getting too big so we pruned it back two years ago and it didn't recover last year. Maybe because we had such a wet spring. this year it's beginning to show signs of life again!

@annbo - Thank you Ann!! I wasn't sure whether to zoom in tight or not. But then decided to focus on the deep color and rays of the stamens.
