Late flowering clematis

This clematis (var. Reiman) is near the steps of our c.1830 Welty House. It started flowering in early November and is at its peak now (Nov.15)! It’s the second flowering, the first was in June. It faces West and hasn’t had an easy year, having had to compete with other flowers. I’ll remember this late blooming because it’s close to Remembrance Weekend when we usually close the water feature for the winter.
