    Kiyohime is the name of a character in an old Japanese work of fiction.  It's English translation is "pure maiden" which gives a good image of the clasically shaped, up-facing flower.  The six to eight sepals are soft pink with a central red streak. The anthers of Clematis `Kiyohime' are strongly contrasting red purple.  Raised by Minoru Hoshino.
