A climber seen growing in the wild.

Missed the flowers.
On searching, it looks close to Clematis terniflora.
Experts kindly validate.


Yes, looking at the leaves which have an intact margin, I would say this is C. terniflora. It has escaped cultivation and has become invasive. It grows in my garden. 


yes. virginnia tech has a page. shows physical features and extent of its spread across various usda zones. must be very prolific. is it a weed yet??
