this isn't Huldine is it?

These are my very first Clematis blooms and I'm thrilled with their appearance! Surprisingly though I'm also pretty sure they aren't Huldine like the lables claimed. Sneaky greenhouse; their lucky it's beautiful all the same! ;)

If any one can help me ID this one I'd really appreciate it. I have attached apicture but a number more, including a few just opening, are here:

greetings from N.C. It looks to me as if you may have a MRS. George Jackman, there usually cream/white with overlaping sepals with brown to a maroon center. Of course I'm no clematis expert but do have quite a few myself. Hope this helps.

Oh, and by the way they also have the greenish/cream stripe down the center of the sepals.

Thanks Gary! I see the similarity clearly in one photo on "clematis on the web":

After seeing how vivid the colours on these young blooms I definitely have a new appreciation for all the references to keeping some varieties out of direct sunlight - looks like this one will be a real joy to watch mature. I'm really happy they are a group 2, but a little disappointed as I wanted them to cover a lot more of the wall - time for a pairing I suppose!
