The bee the Camellia & the Clematis Armandii

I was watching a bee buzzing round the Clematis armandii........ a pretty clematis but one with no perfume the blooms appear as made of China( cold) It is an evergreen...... it has no need of perfume as it is wind pollinated......... ideal for March flowering. Both the bee and the flower were, finally, disinterested parties.......... came in to write this poem.The bee is telling the story  
 
 
I chose the flower in the hail  
delicate, yet bold as sepals open wide  
not the least discrete, proud of its corolla  
petals, stamens, stigma, small unlike Clematis.  
Had no need to forage all was there to see,  
the flower had no nectar,  
could not seduce as did Camellia who hides her charms  
The wind blows strong on the terrace walk,  
pollen flies to fertilise, stigmas plead in vain  
Before me rests the bloom I saw a while ago  
pink and innocent, no need of me or me of it.
