Purple Delight

As if by request, the Clematis has started to bloom, just in time for Easter.
The canes are heavy with new buds, hopefully in the next week, it will gift us with a showy display.

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"
