Good Fences #108 - Vines Revisited

Welcome! - It's a lovely morning here (the sun is shining!) and I'm excited to share some GOOD FENCES with you.
Let's join Theresa from The Run-a-round Ranch Report and have a great time together.

 Way back in February I featured the fence and vine pictured below.  See full post HERE


 At that time I had no idea what that vine was.  Someone said it reminded them of a Eucalyptus Gum vine but I had no clue whether they were right or not.  However I recently was driving past the same property and noticed that the vines were in bloom!

I knew after checking the flowers that it wasn't a Eucalyptus Gum Vine and that Leslie Miller (Running With Scissors) had correctly guessed what that vine actually is.



Turns out this vine is a Clematis! - I couldn't identify the exact type although it looks very much like one called an, Clematis Armandii.
 
Thankfully I happened to have my camera with me when I spotted that the vine was blooming and I quickly pulled over and snapped a few shots to share with you all.
 
Enjoy:
 
 
 
 



 


They sure dress up that fence nicely!

Have a wonderful day.

    That vine is pretty. That's the nice thing about blogging. If you can't identify something there's usually a reader who can

    Very pretty! I love Clematis, I used to see them on all the old iron fences in German Village, Columbus, Ohio.

    Most of those were the big purple petal variety.

    The flowers definitely add charm to the fence. I would never have guessed it was a clematis from the leaves. Your photos with the light filtering through are delightful.

    That's a solid fence and the Clematis is a great addition to the scene.
    Well done, Ida!
    Have a Happy Day!

    I am so glad you shared them with us and that you had your camera. Course, if you had your cell phone you could use that too-in a pinch.

    One of my favourite flowers!! It's a bit difficult to grow up here in my soil .... and cold! I killed two before I finally got the third plant to bloom. I can't wait to see it's big beautiful blooms this summer.
    Love the new header too.
