Stubborn Clematis

The trouble with clematis on a balcony is that they always want to turn their faces away and look outward...a stubborn and independent child. I have to force them to address me by tying, twisting and bending them so that they are looking at me when I sit on the balcony. Well, at least one or two. The rest just do what they want.
