Clematis vitalba (also known as Old man's beard and Traveller's Joy)
According to Wikipedia, a climbing shrub with branched stems, deciduous leaves, and scented greeny-white flowers with fluffy underlying sepals. The fruits have an overlying silky appendage lengthwise on the plant.
The seeds are disseminated by the wind. Unfortunately, it has a bad name and in In New Zealand it is declared an "unwanted organism" and cannot be sold, propagated or distributed. It is a threat to native plants since it grows vigorously and forms a canopy which smothers all other plants. It reminds me of the frivolous hats as worn in the fifties.

Wunderbar, jetzt weiß ich wenigstens, wie diese "Blümchen" heißen. Oft genug kann man die im Winterhalbjahr bewundern.LG
