Each seed, center, has a long silky plume that aids in dispersal. Wayward top plume reminds me of a sparkler.

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr

Oh my goodness. That's a super image, interesting too. I've never had clematis and certainly didn't realise they could look like this. :D

The European species C. vitalba is known as Old Man's Beard, alternatively as Traveller's Joy.

My images are a medium for sharing some of my experiences: they are not me.
