Dear all,
I may not be adhering to guidelines by posting a flowering creeper I saw and was intrigued by during my recent visit to Canada (Ontario). Had never seen anything like this, so thought the group may be interested too.
If anyone can help with the ID, that would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you Madhuri ji and Amit ji. Looking at the leaves, I did think it might be Clematis but having been to the Chelsea Flower Show in London just 3 weeks earlier where there were a mind-boggling variety of clematis (amongst many other flowers of course) species, this one or anything similar was not seen, so I thought this one may be something else.
If anyone ever has the opportunity of going the Chelsea flower show, it is highly recommended. It was absolutely stunning for the senses and soul.
REgards,
sushmita

This could be Clematis virginiana, in fruiting (called as "old man's beard"!). Other common names include Devil's darning needles, Virgin's Bower etc.

Thank you, Vijaysankar ji.
I googled virginiana and the images showed up the flower as smaller blossoms. And my image is clearly of the fruiting stage, as you confirm. I love the common names - didnt know that devils darn!

This link shows leaves and seedheads of the Virginnia bower....
look at the seed heads ...very different group anatomy and individual
white "hair" in shorter (than current specimen, and straighter)
length and seems to be tapering towards the tip in current specimen,
where as the link picture shows uniformity of width of the hair...
also the seed head composite anatomy is different....
