Clematis is also known as Leather Flower, Old Man's Beard, Pepper Vine, Traveller's Joy, and Virgin's Bower.
The ancient Greeks used 'clematis' to refer to a whole range of climbing plants.
It can symbolise artifice, ingenuity, love, and want.
According to Mrs Burke's 1856 Illustrated Language of Flowers, it means 'mental beauty'.
