Clematis, a type of flowering vine, is a favorite with flower-lovers due to its bright blues, purples, and magentas as well as its huge variety of shapes, hues, and blooming seasons. Chalk Hill Farms in Healdsburg, CA, grows over 80 varieties of premium clematis in open fields, and photos of the farm make a gorgeous backdrop for useful information on how to grow, cut, arrange, and care for this well-loved woody climber. Award-winning floral designer Ron Morgan provides inspiring arrangements.

Pretty pictures,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Celebration of Clematis: From the Gardens of Chalk Hill Nursery (Hardcover)
I guess this book is what it purports to be. It is a 'celebration'. It is not a very informative book for the North American clematis grower. It's a good coffee table picture book with many beautiful but irrelevant to clematis pictures.

A Celebration of Clematis: From the Gardens of Chalk Hill Nursery,
By GardenBooker (San Mateo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Celebration of Clematis: From the Gardens of Chalk Hill Nursery (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book of outstanding photos, making me wish Chalk Hill was my own yard. My only criticism is that I wish there was more text to describe the varieties, as the map in the back does not give any detail about the varieties shown.
