Virgin's Bower, or Common Clematis

This passalong clematis is blooming again this year.  It can be a wild plant and is callled Virgin's Bower, or common clematis. 


The Greenway has some wandering clematis vines, and my Great Smokies wild flower book says they are quite common in the park. 

Sheila up the street, who gave it to me,  decided that its thirty foot expanse on her fence was too much and cut it to the ground.  



Actually the feathery fruit of the vine is as pretty as the flowers.
