Queen of the Vines – Clematis

The Clematis may be best known for its large-flowering, purple, star-shape blossoms on twining vines. They are mainly of Chinese and Japanese origin. Clematis is a genus of about 300 species within the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids are popular among gardeners.

I spotted these on a trip to Sunrise Farm in the Brussels, Wisconsin area.  They are our supplier of choice for naturally raised meat. While stopping by to pick up a few things, we saw a large stunning display of these beauties growing alongside the house.
