Description
Found this vine growing on a fence up by Masonville in northern Colorado. I'm not very good at identifying plants, but I don't think it's a rose or a sunflower...
OK, folks are weighing in. My friend Robert tells me this is Virgin's Bower. Here's I found: "A 15-20 ft., fine-texured vine, climbing by twisting leaf stalks. Profuse, axillary clusters of small, white flowers are followed by plume-like, feathery achenes. Trifoliate leaves are bright-green. A climbing vine with white flowers in many clusters arising from the leaf axils.
A beautiful and common Clematis, it trails over fences and other shrubs along moist roadsides and riverbanks. The female flowers, with their feathery tails or plumes, give a hoary appearance and are especially showy in late summer. Lacking tendrils, the vine supports itself by means of twisted stems, or petioles, that wrap around other plants. "

Works for me!

Looks like Virgin's Bower (Clematis virginiana). A native to North America from Newfoundland to southern Manitoba down to the Gulf of Mexico. As a vine in winter, you will find a find a mass of fluffy hairs twinning among other bushes.
