Most are young vines, but whether one flower or a hundred, quite lovely.

And of course honorable mention has got to go to this year's red honeysuckle bloom.

Love your pictures, alex! You should print them all off and make it an album.
I have a honeysuckle trumpet vine that is looking just like that. I love it, because the hummingbirds love it -- they should be showing up soon.
I haven't had much luck with the clematis, which tends to get a clematis wilt and fizzle out.

The trick to keep your clematis blooming all summer is dead heading and a slow release flower fertalizer scratched in the soil around the plant. keep it watered and it should bloom and bloom and bloom. I was the envy of all my neighbors in my old neighborhood. theirs would all be dead and shriveled up and mine just kept going and goping and going!
