SUMMER WHITE OVER THE GARDEN GATE

Clematis montana
wilsonii "Peveril"
Growing on Shaw Island,
San Juan Archipelago, WA.,
USDA Zone: 8b.
 for this photograph taken 
7 June 2023. 

She casts slight fragrance and
stretches the blooming season
of the species Clematis montana.
Soon a bounty of fresh 
ripe seeds will be on the vine.

Worth a try after reading 
Clematis, The Montanas;
A book for Gardeners.

"Summer is a promissory note signed in June,

it's long days spent and gone

before you know it, and due 

to be repaid next January.
