A clematis grows up a small metal frame by the wall of my back patio. I always wonder if it will survive the winter. This is a blossom that survived, before the new growth started to appear.

The forecast for overnight was for possible frost, so I wanted to capture an Image of this delicate beauty before it is gone.
