I forgot to include the clematis photos on the last post. This is a beautiful little Clematis in the Subgenus Viornae, of which there are many species. It scrambles along the road bank, and is easy to miss if you don’t look close. Interesting link to a website with more information.
The foliage, three leaves like garden clematis, but without the toothed edges
The flowers mostly face down, but that leaves the color showing on the top.
Clematis, probably in the Subgenus Viornae
