I’m still on digital detox week, but when I took these pictures today I thought I’d at least have something nice at the top of the page while I’m out.
P.S. They aren’t the usual purple passion flowers I’m used to, but some sites seem to refer to them as some sort of passion flower. If Steve or Persimmon or someone with more botany-fu than me comes along you’re welcome to provide a better ID if I’m wrong.
LATER: Steve says they’re probably clematis and I’m inclined to agree.



It’s a clematis of some sort.
Holy cow. I think of clematis as a little morning glory sized flower. These were the size of dinner plates. Dang.
Yeah, they’re kinda freaky. Lots of people have started planting them next to their mailboxes in the past few years.
A while ago I shot some clematis (but couldn’t find a recipe). It turns out that the range of variety and size is amazing, and there’s a Royal Clematis Society.
Nice work.
