This is one of three species of Clematis that occur in Alberta, the other two being the native Western Clematis and the Purple Clematis/Blue Clematis. This yellow species was introduced from Japan as an ornamental garden plant, but has now spread to natural areas where it chokes out and kills native plants, shrubs and trees.

Needed a change of colour in my photostream after so much orange recently! The only wildflowers I'm finding at the moment are Prairie Crocuses, so I went to Safeway:) Like lots of other Flickr members, I can never resist taking photos looking deep into the centre of the flowers. Thanks for your patience!
