Hi Clematis people,

I've been admiring all of your beautiful gardens off and on for some time, and wishing mine was half as nice.

My reason for posting today is to find the name of our weed clematis. Google is failing me. I think you, the experts are my best source. I stepped next door where it is only pulled once a year, and the roots not dealt with, so I have a better picture to help ID it. It blooms in the late summer with blooms like the Autumn Clematis. Then the seeds come to visit me, and the hunt begins for the new starts, a year round project. Horrid, invasive plant.

This photo is of growth starting last summer. It is on a laurel hedge. Leaves are trifoliate.
