amateur flower arranging

i am not a florist. but i do love trying to arrange blooms in pretty ways. a real floral designer recently gifted me with a bunch of clematis stems, so i tried my hand at arranging them alone in a pitcher. i must say, i never really thought much about clematis before, but now i am wanting to order in all kinds of them to grow here in our little flower farm. not many of the varieties grow well in our zone, but there are a few lovely ones that do. do you grow clematis?
