Clematis tangutica seedhead.

Kanyl and I had a trip out to Larch Cottage Nurseries in Melkinthorpe.  From the point of view of looking for flower blips it was a bit of a nonstarter.  There were a few but nothing appealed.  It is never the less an interesting place to visit and the inevitable coffee was very good.

What caught my eye most among the plants was a Clematis tangutica (sorry don't know a common name).  From a distance it looked almost white there were so many of these fluffy seedheads covering it.  In summer it is a mass of the small drooping yellow flowers.  Interestingly and although there is no link to the colour clematis are members of the Ranunculaceae, the same family as the buttercups.
