I grow over 50 varieties of Clematis around our large gardens. The other day, a friend phoned me to say that she had seen a double Clematis, something she had not seen before. I said that she could visit and see one growing up our garage wall. There is also one on the ornamental cherry tree.
However, doubles are in the minority. When we visited a private garden open for charity on Sunday, within a couple of minutes I found myself looking at this flower. This was part of a very successful purple theme throughout the garden.
EM-1 , Kiron 105mm, f11, twin TTL flash, hand-held.
The first stereogram is cross-eye, the second is conventional. I was going to offer an anaglyph but the colour shift in the software, from pink to blue, could not be corrected nearly enough.
For those who cannot see the stereo or just prefer a single frame, I give one of the pair as a single frame.

Not that keen on the flower though- as with many doubles it just seems "messy" - prefer the purity of symmetry in single flower species.

Brian,
Thanks. Yes, the breeders have not produced a flower of much beauty. Interesting as a stereo curiosity subject. To me, the pale, folded petals remind me of the stigma arrangement in a large poppy.
With few exceptions, our policy for our garden is single flowers, with access for insects to nectar.

Somehow the dullish dim light is making me want to be buried with it.
Wish you capture it in dramatic sweet light.....so it says LIVE, BE JOYOUS, THRIVE!
Strictly, for specialist flower photography, that is outrageously bright! :yikes
