Clematis cloud

A "cloud" of Clematis; click for more detail.

Clematis drummondii is a vine that’s fond of climbing on and over other plants, even to the point of covering them with a living—and for them smothering—cloud of fibers. In the case of what appears to be some Brazilian and therefore alien verbena poking up at the far left, so much the better.
