Some of you have spotted my fondness for clematis, so when I saw this I could not resist it, despite the damage to the petals. And I couldn't resist picturing it next to its namesake, I'm afraid!
I believe this is Loetz, and Part 2 will explain why.

Thank you, Scott!
Thank you Bellin68! This one must be way out of your comfort zone, looking at your lovely collection!
Hi LLL
I think that balancing it upside down on the edge of the table like that (photo 3) would probably put everyone here out of their "comfort zone" ...
:-)
Ha! Worse than that - it's not a table, it's a ladder. Only way to get close to the clematis ...
Don't tell me any more ! :~O
... no doubt it's 10 feet off the ground and you took the picture leaning over the balcony ???
Ok - I won't tell you!
Oh alright - no balcony and the ladder's only about 5 feet ...
Thanks AmberRose, GSO, JayHow and Slave-to-Glass.
