Just a few weeks ago our tangutica was a mass of yellow bells. In this photograph the flower is just beginning to open.
Now there are no flowers but a mass of feathery seed heads nodding in the sun.
I almost expect a little face to look up and smile shyly!

wow! fascinating! I love it! =)
I had heard of tangutica clematis but had not seen one before - interesting shape and one of my favourite species.
Thanks for visiting me - yes, there is always something in the garden but far too wet and windy to go out with the camera!

I like the shiny mopheads. This plant has some really fascinating features!

What fun to see this unusual flower. I love the yellow color. Thank you for sharing this with us.
You are definitely right about the little shy smiling face. I'm sure I cought a glimpse...
It is a beautiful clematis.
My yellow rose has so many buds that still have to open. I'm hoping the frost will keep away for a couple of months.
I like that a lot!

I love the seed heads. Casual and elegant at the same time. So pretty.

I think your Clematis tangutica look much better than mine do right now. You are inspiring me to take my camera for a walk around my gardens right NOW to see. :)
I have never seen that variety before. Splendid seed heads!
Very nice shots!
Someone gave me a clematis one month ago but the flowers should be blue or purple I think! Let's wait and see;o)

Have a happy Monday****
The seedheads are pretty bizarre looking! But I think they are lovely! I have not seen a flower that shape on any of the varieties here.
That's gorgeous!
