In a Vase on Monday: Clematis Seed Heads

Posted on June 16, 2014 by johnvic8

As my clematis vines have begun to drop their flowers, they have left a legacy of intriguing seed heads. It seemed that they just might give me the opportunity to extend In a Vase on Monday to include something other than flowers or foliage. I do hope the viewers won’t mind.

The vase is a Japanese incense burner. The clematis are ‘General Sikorski,’ ‘Ramona,’ ‘Henryi,’ and ‘Comptesse de Bouchard.’
