The Clematis virginiana is blooming everywhere!!!  This picture was taken at the Ocoee last weekend, but it is all around us.  

 

Look for billowy white clouds climbing over shrubs and fences.  There's some on Mocassin Creek Road heading to Murphy, on 19/129 heading to Blairsville, and all over the rocks near the Ocoee.  It ranges throughout eastern and central North America.  So, look for it in your travels.

 

It is gorgeous.  And be sure to roll down the windows.  It smells delicious!!!

 

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!!!
