Clematis: Is this Clematis?, 1 by Dinu

Just visited a friend this morning. He had a shrub growing near his compound wall and some new growth were creeping up. The blooms were lovely. I even got an off shoot of this that was growing about 8 feet from the base of the plant. This was removed after wetting the soil and it had interlocked with the roots of a coconut tree closeby. The root of this plant was a foot and it had to be cut down. The 'young' plant has grown up to a foot with about 3 sets of leaves. Is this clematis?

Have posted this on the ID forum also.
