Leather Flower (Clematis pitcheri) by Bethany R.

"This is a sweet little plant that's so unassuming you might never notice the fairy-like flowers hidden in the green foliage. It seems to do okay in morning sun and afternoon shade. It doesn’t require a lot of water and quietly goes about its business. I used it to liven up the one sunny corner in my backyard. It shares space with a purple clematis and flowers spring through fall."
