Clematis

A climbing plant with attractive flowers of many colors, the clematis was used by Native Americans in the treatment of nervous disorders and skin ailments. Dont be beguiled by the appearance of its pretty little flowers though, this plant is
essentially quite toxic. Here are purple and pink clematis flowers photographed in charlotte, NC. The flowers look so perfect, i am tempted to think they are made of paper, painted over!!
