In this sheltered courtyard at Madingley Hall, Cambridge, UK, the winter flowering Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica (fern-leaved clematis, evergreen clematis, Minorca clematis, winter-flowering clematis) is providing a show. This evergreen climber has small, very finely cut, dark green leaves and slightly fragrant, creamy-yellow flowers spotted purple within. Flowers are followed by fluffy seedheads.
