Surprise Clematis Josephine - Bird Poop GIFT

Already inside the greenhouse, on March 29, this new Surprise Clematis 'Josephine' was blooming.
We never purchased it so it must be another gift from some bird...
It sure is a lovely one with its very double center!

Do you love Clematis?

Thanks for your visit.

    Oh my goodness! That is absolutely gorgeous! Birds leave gifts here, but nothing as magnificent as that.

    What a wonderful surprise gift from the birds Mariette - we get lots of freebies from the birds too, most of which are very welcome in our garden.
