I really love Clematis flowers. This is a photograph of one of my favourites. I grew it in a pot a few years ago.

The flowers can bloom in early spring, or summer, depending on the variety, and some even produce a delightful fragrance. Clematis plants prefer well-drained soil, plenty of sunlight, and can be pruned to encourage vigorous growth and more blooms. They are often considered a symbol of cleverness, as their twisting vines can be seen climbing with an almost clever persistence.
