These are Clematis that were at my Mothers last July.
This is my best purple shot this week. This is a relatively unknown and underused plant. It's common name is Painted Sage. It is Salvia horminium "Claryssa'. It really does not have a bloom, but very colorful bracts:)
What a beautiful flower. I've never seen one before. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely plant...and the clematis is one of my favorite flowers. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a garden it would have a long trellis full with Clematis. Love the Painted Sage, too - must look for it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. The Painted Sage is quite unusual, very lovely.
