This is a photo of a Clematis virginiana also known as Devil's darning needles, Virgin's Bower, or Old Man's Beard climbing up the side of the barn in the mountains. Lacking tendrils, the vine supports itself by means of twisted stems that wrap around other plants or structures.
This is a beautiful plant with feathery tails or plumes, that give a hoary appearance and is especially showy in late summer. The bees love this common Clematis as they are gathering pollen.
