Questions

Vine.

What is This Plant?My cousin's sister-in-law planted this vine while she was having cancer treatments. She told her it was a purple Clematis, but it bloomed this year and the flowers were white, last spring and did not look like any Clematis she has seen. Anyone know the name of this plant? Thanks.
