The blooms are a dark, near-black, velvety red when they 1st open and mature to a deep, royal red close to the color used for choir robes and bench cushions in some churches. I have more difficulty showing this color accurately. This one seems to actually change colors as the day goes on. It appears to be more of a dk, royal red morning through mid afternoon, changing to a blue red later in the afternoon and early evening. Most of my pictures are taken after 6 when I get home and thus are the blue red. When I view the flowers on weekend mornings, I do a double take as it looks like a totally different plant (to my eyes, no camera involved). Photos taken on weekends show this color change. Shown below is the morning or weekend view of this clematis, mature blooms. |
