Thought an artificial flower had blown into the yard...

On closer inspection, it's a Clematis vine. Surprise! 😀

I've been here 4+ years and have never seen Clematis growing there. The guy who weedeats the property is very enthusiastic, so thinking it must have gotten whacked every spring. What the deer don't get, he finishes off lol.

Gently pulled the vine through the lower deck rails so it can climb and hopefully flourish. And will be telling M to please steer clear of that area.

What a lovely surprise!
