Clematis


In Iowa early June brings warmth, sunshine, green grass and lots of blooming things, including the majestic and colorful clematis.  Right outside my door I took this picture of the bold white flowers along with another purple variety in the background.  Just beyond our porch these beauties are everywhere as the vines have grown well beyond the original trellis and supporting poles to now serve as a blanket on the top tier of landscaping in this particular area. Some might say it's a jumbled mess but I love the sea of green and the perfectly placed petals found everywhere -- thank you, Mother Nature.

"The earth laughs in flowers."
