I'm sure you will all be shocked... No pictures of our baby doll today! ;-)
Instead, I thought I'd post a picture of our last clematis blossom of the Spring blooming season. It popped out of nowhere a week or two ago after all of the other blooms were long gone. The color isn't quite as rich in the picture as it was in person, but it's still pretty.
(You can click on the image to enlarge it.)
This week I'll need to get to work with the camera some and try to get some new pictures... Not sure I've got much recent fodder available for next week's Snapshot post! :-)

That's a beautiful specimen! We keep trying to grow a clematis on our garden fence but are not having much luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you! So far We've had this one for its third season now and it seems like it is going to stick around :-) I wish they bloomed all throughout the summer!
DeleteThat is lovely - my clematis are suffering from the ravages of snails, wind and rain! My Snapshot is another link to the past - nun who lost their home. Find it here http://goo.gl/ou72V
ReplyDeleteOh, that's too bad -- we don't really have too many snails around and Lord knows we could do with some rain! My plants are really suffering.
DeletePretty! The clematis were beautiful this year, but they didn't last very long. Sometimes I get one or two errant flowers and it's always a pleasant surprise to see them pop up.
ReplyDeleteYes, I don't remember having any late-blooming flowers last year, so this was definitely a pleasant surprise.
DeleteI adore lavender and purple blooms! Thanks for sharing and for brightening the day. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHere's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
That is pretty! What a great color!
ReplyDeleteThanks -- yes, the color is what drew me to the plant originally :-)
DeleteIt certainly is pretty - so delicate. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteIt's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was sad to see it go.
DeleteVery pretty! I don't know if I've seen one of those before.
ReplyDeleteThere are many different varieties -- I really like the color of these.
DeleteI wish the flower's name was as pretty as your picture. It always sounds like an std to me!
ReplyDeleteLOL. You may have ruined it for me ;-) Just kidding!
DeleteI love these climbers Melissa and have one the same color....beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes, I wish we had more for it to climb on, maybe one day!
DeleteSo very pretty! And what a nice surprise! I like a flower that can hang in there like that. You must have a beautiful garden. :)
ReplyDelete(I love your header and blog design!!)
Thanks so much! It's not much of a garden but I do try to keep flowers blooming around our patio throughout the spring/summer. One day I'd love to have a massive garden!
DeleteAnd thanks re: the new design -- I was ready for a change!
Clematis have such gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeletePretty flower! I like that I have been using my camera more lately. I used to just let it sit around and collect dust...
