This is one of several types of clematis I have discovered in bloom on treks around the city recently. I’m sorry I can’t tell you which clematis this is specifically, but they just aren’t my area of knowledge.

We’ve been enjoying a deliciously mild late fall season and not a touch of snow, although the temperatures have begun to drop since I took this photo, just in time for my tropical trip to begin. I’ve been doing a lot of air punching in celebration of bypassing early winter… at least for now.
