Message of the Day – White

December 29, 2010 By: Cal Skinner Category: Clematis, Flower, Flowers, Message of the Day, White

White clematis flowers grace our garden this past summer.

Fake phlox are seen in the background of this clematis vine.

The flowers of the fall clematis that are planted on our property are blooming.

Their brilliant white stands in sharp contrast to the bloomless phlox in the background.
