Beautiful clematis folks. My proteus does bloom with some double and some single flowers at the same time. The story of Proteus in Greek Mythology is very interesting. Proteus is a shape shifter and sea God. If you tried to get the truth out of him the only way to do it was to hold onto him while he changed into many beasts. Finally when he changed to human he would tell you the truth. So perhaps that's why Proteus has both single and double flowers at the same time.

There are three different types of blossoms in this photo and all are Proteus.
