Any "educated" guesses?I am trying to identify this flower. Those who know me know I am absolutely NO green thumb! I can't stress that enough. I am working on a project and need to know what kind of flower this is. I snapped this in London at the start of summer and it is one of my favorite images....and yes John...I took the photo off center! :)
Thanks for all your help!
UPDATE
Thanks Julie for figuring it out! It is the Star of India or Clematis flower.

I think it may be a "star of India" clematis...
But someone else may know better?
OK, that is awesome. I think that you may be right! :) It was supposed to take longer than that!
Thanks!
Anna, I hope someone else can check. A lot of these plants look very similar and I'm no expert!!
Please keep checking and let me know if ya'll find out anything different!
Glad someone could help you. I had no idea myself.
Lovely shot though. I like the off-centered look. I don't even think of it when I'm out shooting. It's like Moi's tilting photos. I like that too, but never think to try it. I guess I'm dye-in-the-wool traditional. It's hard to break out of that thinking.
Yes, it is a clematis. Lovely.
Yes it is a clematis and I think the variety is Jackamani or something similar to that.
Nice shot, off center as it is! :)
I like the flower, off-center and all. I don't have a particularly green thumb either, and I'm glad to learn what it is.
Whew, so glad someone knew what it was. I didn't have a clue. Mums I know, purple thingys..no.
How's your son doing? I hope things are going smoothly.
Anna I am so sorry it has been so long since I visited, I have so much catching up to do. Beautiful whimsical shots of your daughter's dress and so sorry about the broken clavical, ouch.
You are always in my thoughts. I hope to catch up this winter. (((Hugs)))

Very pretty - and I love the it being off center.
I could not have helped you with this one ...I am glad Julie did it for you...:)
hope you are having a great weekend and good luck with the "project"
Hi anna,
My first visit, what a nice blog. Is the flower you needed identified? If you need any other 'flower' help let me know via the email link in my profile . I would be happy to try and help.
Thanks for visiting my site.
I can totally relate. I love taking floral/plant photos--but then people ask "Oh what is that?" and I have no answer...
I am definately no botanist, but I do know that that is one great picture!
I'd be curious to see a size comparison. How small/large is that flower?
New project in which you need to know the name of a plant??? Do tell!!!
Beautiful image. And I love that its placed off center!
glad you did take it off centre - lovely shot - the girl did good. AGAIN
nice one
miss ya, anna!
hi anna,
i was sifting through pictures today and wondering how you guys are doing and what is going on. can you send me your new address?
Tuesday I head back to the states. its surreal. asha is busy, chaaya is her wonderful self and the kids club is adjusting to the new environment-new kids, new teacher. They ask about John and...Mita misses you!! I spent the weekend with the Shahs, ate good food and played games with Sarit.
a bit long for your commentary here, maybe I should have emailed? :D
lots of love and hugs to you and Carson clan!!!
Nice composition, Anna.
I have no idea what that flower is though!
