Thanks everyone for the compliments. Yes, Mayleen is on hooks, plus some of the vines that died were left, to act as support for the live vines. This is the best she's ever bloomed, now that I haven't whacked her down as I did in previous years.

Here is Yukiokioshi, each bloom is surrounded by a halo of leaves. The last picture is a lateral view of the bloom, showing a leaf coming from the underside of the petals. I've never seen clematis blooms like this.
