Life on a family farm in the wilds of Upstate New York
Those fuzzy puffs are the seed heads of Virgin's Bower, which is a wild native clematis. At this stage, the plant is also called Old Man's Beard.Nice photo! I love the curling tendrils and how the filaments catch the light.
Yes, it looks like what my mother used to call wild clematis.
Jacqueline will have to verify this for me . . but I was about to link you to one of her pictures!http://saratogawoodswaters.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-winter-weeds-walk-at-bog-meadow.html
