The story behind this image

In the spring and early summer my garden is a riot of colour, and my favourite flowers are the various types of clematis that we have dotted about.

I think this is a particularly attractive combination of blue and gold. The only problem in photographing it was trying to get the flower to stay still long enough to get a sharp image. This was the best of several attempts!
