Don't know why...

Clematis "Haku Ookan," June 2011., a photo by Leenechan on Flickr.

This color of this clematis would be extraordinary if the photo were true to life! In reality, our clematis "Haku Ookan" is the same shade of purple as Japanese Iris "Gusto." I have no idea why it looks so red in pictures...
