Physical exam Most Clematis blooms range from about3 to 8 inches in diameter, but there are also smaller cluster-flowered types, which are about 1 inch to 2 inches in diameter. Single-flowered varieties usually have four to eight petal-like sepals and open flat. Double and semidouble varieties can haveas many as 18 or more sepals and, while still flat, are a bit "fluffier." The stamens in the centers are typically spiny and sea-urchinlike and span the color spectrum from white to creamy white to greenish-tinged white, pale yellow to golden yellow andred to dark maroon.
