What a beautiful yellow colour!! I love it!
Sorry to show my ignorance, but is that really a clematis? It doesn't look anything like most clematis blooms.
Yes it is really a Clematis!

Wow! Very cool! I've been thinking lately in general that a buttery yellow color like that is my favorite color as far as clothing, decorative objects, etc (probably because we painted my daughter's room that color and I love it) but I haven't picked a place for that color in my new yard/garden. The back yard will be pinks, blues and purples and the front will be flashy red, orange and bright yellows. I'm afraid a nice buttery yellow like that (and like Lady Banks rose) would look washed out or out of place in either area. I may have to rethink my plans to include those colors somewhere. That is just beautiful.
It looks lovely but I understand it can be a bit of a 'thug' in the right growing conditions. Check out the link on that clematis web site for a detailed article
