The story behind this image

Spring and early summer in our garden is a riot of colour as all sorts of flowers come out at various times.

Among my favourites are the multi hued clematiss (clematii?) which have wound themselves around our flowering cherry tree with flowers that are fully four inches across when fully opened.

You need a very still day to photograph them though, as the slightest breeze has them bobbing about all over the place!
