    The family resemblance really shines in seed season. I’ve been lucky enough to see this one in bloom in east Texas, climbing higher than I could have imagined into pine trees!

      They are quite common here, esp. down by the river, they seem to prefer moist woodlands. Love their blooms as well as seed heads that persist into winter, catching snowflakes.

    Interesting plant. Just read about it…many a.k.a. names….’Devil’s Hair’ being one.

    Nice texture, Eliza. So interesting in a gardening transitioning from summer to autumn.

    Looks like a bunch of long-legged, hairy spiders! Does it have a scent, Eliza? I know clematis is a fairly enthusiastic climber, right?

    They look a bit like an underwater plant. Attractive if a little curious.

    I love the fruiting phase of clematis, reminds me of Dr Seuss.

    A unique looking clematis for sure! I wonder how many varieties there are?
