Some years ago I grew from seed something that was labelled Clematis
integrifolia. It clearly wasn't, since it galloped straight to the top
of a
Sorbus. So I've been looking out for flowers, and this year I
spotted them at
the top of the tree - white, dropping, with rounded
rather than pointed petals.
In terms of flowering time, this is very
early - before C armandii, and before
CC alpina is even showing buds. So
I assume C cirrhosa - but is there anything
else it could be?
It's also not totally tender - it's come through this winter unscathed,
whereas
I lost my 10 year old C armandii

There's a white one called C. cirrhosa Jingle Bells

It's nice that Googling "C. Cirrhosa" and liver wort produces hits.
Pity to waste a good word like cirrhosis.

I like Pulmonaria, lungwort - that has spotty leaves in most cases.

The cirrhosa in this case means hairy not diseased liver looking! :~)
