Description
This is a clematis from Ann's garden.
It isn't really a fan, in case you were wondering. I only named it that because it's fun. This is a flower, about 4 or 5 inches across. Grows on a vine. In the garden. (Really - it's not a fan.) :)

FRIEND REQUESTS
Okay - let's talk about this new "Friends" thing! I don't get it. If we're friends, you already know that, right? Why do I need this new feature in my already crowded life?
Here's my plan: I'm going to ignore it for now. So if you sent me a friend request, Thank You! I'm happy you thought of me. I haven't gotten one yet from anybody I don't like! :) However, I'm going to leave 'em all on the table until I have more information. If you sent me a request and I haven't added you, it isn't personal. I haven't added anybody.
If I loved you before, I still love you now! :) I'm just a little "ehhhhhhhhh" about this whole thing, if you know what I mean.

That's really pretty....thanks
Gorgeous. You tagged this one just right. Good pov and the lighting is marvelous.
I agree with you, I think the whole thing is really silly and completely redundant!!!! we already have a favorites list I don't understand the point of another list of friends??? We seem to have enough troubles with clicks & groups of favorite people, leaving others feeling left out, and we've lost MANY people in the past from these type of ridiculous situations!!! This is just an attempt to copy other popular websites, we really don't need a friends list to add to the mix!!!!!! Now about the photo, I love clematis, they're a gorgeous flower, and this is a beautiful example!!!!!!! Have a great evening...
Lovely clematis shot! I have been trying to figure out the variety, but it's so hard to tell. It was likely a deeper colour in Spring than it is now in late summer, and there are SO many! I love the ruffled petal edges. That makes it very special and you caught it beautifully!
I agree with everything Akemi,( nongo) said. It just doesn't make sense to me. If we didn't have favorite artists, then yes, I understand. But is there now to be a distinction between the two? I want to be your 'friend', but I don't think your work is worth the ebot a fav artist would bring??? And what do we do about the requests from 'friends' that we don't even know??? I don't want to be rude, but none of this makes any sense to me... I applaud you for making a stand. :^) Beautiful capture, btw, soft and kinda dreamy. This clematis reminds me almost of stargazer lilies.......and yes, I know it's not a fan, lol. Sorry for venting... -M :^)
Indeed it looks like a fan!!! It's much more beautiful though;))!
Beautiful Clemantis, and beautifuly captured.
Actually I also dont know what this friend is all about. I got requests from 2 persons, that I accepted, because I thought, there could be any fancy idea behind it. I dont always understand the meaning behind the written words, because of my language problems, soo....
great image:)
For me looks a very beauty!!!!!!!!!Bravissima!V:DDD.Hugsxx
Superb shot with wonderful colors and fantastic details. Excellently done!!
I love clematis and have several varieties in my own garden. I love the way the light shines through the petals. Excellently captured. xx

Well, I thought it was a bit superfluous myself, I mean, why take up the space, but WTH, I'm playin' the game :o) Great shot T and I have clematis in my little garden too Huggies You Non-Conformist, You LOL
Love this flower in its colorfull display, specialy a middle thingy part. I agree on this friend thing, we have fav artist so they are our friend allready...I guess...anyway.
I am not the bright candle on the cake, I don't even know what you are talking about with the friends thing but I do know that I like this shot very much.

Lovely shot! I have always loved clematis and miss having them in my yard. Thanks for sharing such a beauty!
Perfect centring and how fabulous are colors and light... great capture Tara!

Marvelous Photo of a beautiful flower!
Gorgeous capture of this beautiful clematis and totally agree with the friends issue. Bravo for bringing it up!!
Beautiful!
I love the wavy petals and the dappled lighting. Very pretty capture Tara.
Yeah, I agree! We don't need anymore useless stuff layed on our already overstuffed heads. They better not come by with a request for our Social Security and credit card numbers to be shared between our "friends." Ennyway, your clematis is just gorgeous, with the whole image, especially the lovely colors and fine clarity, bathed in dappled light and shadow.
awesome flower and more so your capture
