If you could smell this photo ♥️ This Virgin's Bower (Clematis virginiana) has been climbing our front porch the past three summers. Yes, it’s invasive but it smells divine and we keep it confined to one area. And it finally bloomed. #virginsbower #clematisvirginiana #september #flowers https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch-Xdc5JwGO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Virgin’s bower 처녀의 내실 또는 여성의 내실이라고 해야 하나요? 클레마티스의 일종이에요. 한국에서는 으아리 꽃이라고도 하고요. 그런데 다른 클레마티스 꽃이랑 달리 잔잔한 꽃이 올라옵니다. 마치 결혼식에서 신부의 베일처럼 신비롭고 아름다워요. 우리집 담을 둘러 심은 덩쿨 식물 중 하나인데, 한 그루밖에 없는 게 아쉬울 정도입니다. #여우네집 #여우네가든 #여우네정원 #clematis #virginsbower #soBeautiful #Gardening #MyFoxGarden #MyFoxHome https://www.instagram.com/p/CTDtoqHFZmA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Virgins-bower

Clematis virginiana

Aka. Devil's darning needles, devil's hair, love vine, traveller's joy, wild hops, woodbine, old man's beard

This plant is native to North America where it grows in rich thickets and at the edge of forests.

The Charokee used root tea for stomach and kidney ailments and nervous conditions. The Iroquois used powdered dry root for sore penis and kidney trouble. It was also used to induce strange dreams.

It's toxic.
