Summer's glory

I've been a bit lax in posting lately, but I can't help it: The weather here has been so wonderful it would be criminal to spend any more time inside than necessary. Memorial Day weekend was probably the nicest I remember, maybe ever.

And the plants are just as excited about this amazing spring and early summer as I am. I'm a big fan of clematis, but this one has become my favorite. Even though I changed what it was climbing up this year a bit too late, so it's laying in a heap on the ground, Guernsey Cream is blooming its head off. I just adore these flowers.
