Clematis flowers are perennial, meaning they will grow back every year, if planted properly and watered. They grow on a vine and come in many colors and varieties. They add great color and foliage to fences and trellises.
I love the many colorful subjects I can find along intimate mountain creeks! Here, Virginia Creeper attaches itself to an elm tree near Bear Creek, southwest of Colorado Springs.
Bear Creek foliage, like this Virginia Creeper winding up the trunk of an elm tree, adds to the color you can find in autumn.
