A well captured Clematis flower, Jeff. I've a Clematis plant/shrub 'climbing' on a fence in my garden too. If the soil (containing the root system) is (somewhat) covered and remains moist, it will bloom abundantly. In the flowering season it's a festive sight. I can't take a picture of it now, almost in winter time, however.
