it IS gorgeous, isn't it? mine had barely a showing last year and only a few small flowers the year before. dunno why as it's been growing/blooming nicely for years. i thought it was going to end up dieing. not so! this year it's bounced back and has put on a beautful show...flowers are still lovely and it's been two now. i do have a pic - will upload it later when i'm on my comp at home.
I'd love to see other pics. This is the first year and it has 4 flower heads now. Will they get more or just the one showing? Either way I was so impressed! Such a large flower and outstanding color. Perhaps just the beginning of a clematis addition. :)
