Stars on Earth
The seed heads of the Clematis vitalba, a climbing shrub with scented green-white flowers are some of my favorite plants The seed heads in this image remind me of stars on Earth. "C. vitalba produces many seeds that are wind dispersed, and it is a strong colonizer of disturbed ground. It is a fast-growing vine with the ability to climb up and bring down tall trees and reduce standing forests to impenetrable low-growing infestations of the vine. It has the ability to expand its range and cover in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, and to be further introduced as an ornamental species. It is a very serious environmental weed in New Zealand undergoing eradication." ....taken from www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/14280
