Too contrived

"Ask yourself whether the flower size and shape of the clematis will be appropriate alongside its companion, or whether the combination looks too contrived."

- Clematis for Small Spaces by Raymond J. Evison (2007) page 33

I have so many issues to address in the garden that contrivance does not make the list.

And since when did interior decorators take over our beloved hobby? (apologies to whomever I stole this one from)

The #1 concern for me will always be, "Will this plant thrive in that spot?"
