New Zealand native clematis has been flowering in small white splashes across the relentlessly green hillside. They are hard to get close to without climbing tall trees but I found one on the edge of the bush that I could kind of zoom on. Big zoom is fuzzy and not worth being a feature on the phone so I deleted the attemprs at anything really close up.
It really is a beautiful flower but, I'm told, fearfully difficult to grow in a garden.
A truly wild child. Free spirit.
That’s a stunning plant. Many moons ago. I was given NZ clematis oil from a naturopath. I can’t remember what it was for. But I do remember it smelled lovely

ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful! Does it have perfume? YAM xx
I hadn't realised that that is a native plant...it is lovely
ReplyDeleteAdds a little zing to all that green.
ReplyDeleteDifficult to grow? Now, that is a challenge if ever I heard one! I see it is for sale in UK, though, through several outlets.
ReplyDeleteI have always love the clematis. The ones I see mostly around here are often planted by mailboxes and trained to weave thru a wrought iron frame. Very lovely especially the deep purple
