neighbor's flower
I thought this flower was pretty and I have never seen it before, can anyone tell me what it is or direct me to a link that will tell how to take care of it and whether it is invasive or not?

A Clematis. There are many different kinds.
Re: neighbor's flower
It looks like it has been planted next to a shrub as the foliage beneath is not like I've seen on clematis. I did that this year. Planted a clematic to grow up in a spring blooming bush so it will look like the bush is blooming much longer plus I save planting space.

Re: neighbor's flower
Yes, that's definitely a clematis flower... But I agree the various leaves & wood there are not part of it.
At our flagpole the clematis grows up a rose of sharon and the flagpole.
And near our porch, morning glory vines grow up the rose of sharon.
Yes, some shrubs don't seem to mind having vines grow up them.LA47 wrote:It looks like it has been planted next to a shrub as the foliage beneath is not like I've seen on clematis.

Re: neighbor's flower
would it be alright if I dug it up and put it in a pot by itself? The one that I am planning to dig up is not blooming yet.

Re: neighbor's flower
This is titled "neighbor's flower." You have the neighbor's permission to dig up their clematis? 
If so, they can be grown in pots, I have one, but in my experience, it stunts them a bit, they never get as big or floriferous as in the ground.
They like "feet in the shade, head in the sun." So mulch well to keep the roots cool. Mine is in a morning sun only location, which may also explain why it stays smaller.
