Clematis

I seem to have forgotten the names of some of the clematis we have, including this one. It's doing very well this year and will keep flowering until late autumn. It's not especially showy - its strength seems to be reliable, free flowering over a long period - but even so, the colour is lovely and the backs of the flowers have a silvery bloom, rather like that on a plum. Right in the centre of this one is a hover fly. He stayed for ages, but I couldn't get a closer photo without losing some of the flower.
