Clematis seed head

Clematis Tangutica

Saturday 19th September 2015

You can tell autumn is fast approaching, by the recent cold nights and some of the leaves on trees beginning to turn. One thing that reminds me of autumn in our garden is the Clematis Tangutica, which is a climber and has yellow bell like flowers. At this time of year it produces seed heads like the one above. This for me heralds the autumn. It is great to see this climbing plant covered in seed heads, but sad to think I will have to wait until next June to see the yellow flowers again. I photographed this with a macro lens on a large aperture to blur the background and soften the image slightly, sunlight was from the left.
