Pink Clematis ピンクのクレマチス

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

There are various types of clematis in terms of color, the number of petals, and whether single or double-flowered. These are single flowered pink clematis with only four petals. Clematis can be found across the globe. They generally flower from spring to autumn but some flower only once a year while others everblooming. 

This clematis had only two flowers, suggesting its being near the end of flowering season.

Clematis クレマチス

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These are clematises. Their deep purple flowers are so beautiful. The first two photos are (I believe) of Clematis patens or in Japanese "Kazaguruma (meaning pinwheel)" for their pinwheel like flower shape. What look like petals are actually the calyx.  

The plant is called in two ways in Japan, "Clematis" or "Tessen," and according to Global Center for Natural Resources Sciences, Kumamoto University, Tessen and Kazaguruma are original species native to Asia and by crossing these and other original species, about 300 types of Clematis have been produced so far. If you're interested in double-flowered clematises, read this post!
