Earthbound like a rocket..

Happy Bonfire night to everyone..

Old mans beard of course but one of my favourite plants to photograph, especially when it has gone to seed.. a bit like me really ;)))

The plant is Wild Clematis Clematis vitalba otherwise know as Traveller’s Joy, Virgin’s Bower or the descriptive Old Man’s Beard. It is a climbing, scrambling plant often covering hedgerows and walls and woodland edge and is particularly prolific in some areas such as the Forest of Dean, the Chiltern Hills etc. and although it may grow in the same way as a vine or cheap clomid Honeysuckle it is actually a member of the Buttercup family.
