Clematis

Cultivar
climbing plant in a wide variety of blooms

The name ‘clematis’ is derived from the Greek word klema, meaning vine branch or vine-like. It is possible that even before the use of the word ‘Klema-tis’ the whole genus was known as atragene, meaning ‘firecracker’ in Greek. Apparently, when large dry stems of C. vitalba are placed in a fire, the heat causes them to split, making a noise like firecrackers. more History Of Clematis
