Another star in May

Okay, so it's completely impossible to have just one star plant per month. This is one I inheritied in the garden (one of the few things). It used to sit outside the shed but didn't really have anywhere to scramble over so I moved it to the long border (yes, behind the washing line) hoping it would realise it was supposed to hide the not very attractive fence. The silly thing seems to think it's a shrub and despite my alluring canes and ties refuses to climb. I'm not sure I would have picked this clematis myself (a bit blousey for my tastes) but have been impressed by it's impact (if you know where to look for it). It's called Sugar Candy.
