High summer blues...............

I have been looking forward to seeing this beautiful clematis, Perle d' Azur, bloom again this year. It is an old variety and once established produces beautiful blue/mauve blooms. This is its third season, the first year it spent establishing, last year there was an amazing show of over 200 blooms, this year looks promising as well. It reaches 3 metres and looks splendid against the barn wall.
