This is the latest of my Clematis to flower, it grows up through Rosa ‘Summer Wine’

‘Kaiu’ is one of the Viorna group (3) and is a pretty, tiny flowering Clematis.
As the flowers open they have a pinkish tinge around the top-middle area and they turn pure white as they age, the tepals curve outwards as they mature too.
The size of the flower is only 2cm long and 1.5cm across !
They flower late summer and the plant reaches 6’, this is in a north facing, windy (south westerly) position.

This shows the pink tinge – on a newer bloom.

This bloom, a couple of days older is now pure white

No, this is new to me, as well. If you keep showing such beautiful Clems, you will really cause me problems, Louise! I simply can't fit any more in!

This one is already on my 'wants' list to be trained over the purple-leaved physocarpus 'Diabalo'

That sounds a good combination, Andrew.

I agree, Spritz - would look scintillating in the late sunshine. Was looking at my physocarpus today and the leaves looked metallic.

I agree, a very good combination Andrew.

It certainly doesn't seem to mind the shadey and windy position, which i did question at first !
