Plant of the Week - Clematis 'unknown variety'

It's fantastic that there are still flowers in my garden into early october, it keeps the bees visiting! This clematis was in the garden before I was here and is growing through the hedge by the patio along with a rogue honeysuckle, which is also still flowering. It hides away for most of the year and its foliage and flowers only appear from inside the hedge come early autumn, like a last-minute dinner making a grand entrance.

I have no idea what type of clematis this is if anyone can identify it for me I'd be most grateful.

I love it because its late flowers offer a brilliant opportunity to get some close-ups of the insects that are visiting the flowers. They seem less bothered by my camera lens nosing in on them while they gather pollen and nectar at this time of year. I can sense their instinct that time is running out and their feeding time of year is drawing to a close. Today I saw hoverflies, bumblebees, wasps and several honey bees like the one below.

I'm planning to take several cuttings of this plant so that I can grow one over the fence on the opposite side, which is bare at the moment (my Clematis 'Oberon') seems to have died. The leaves are thick and a beautiful green with a lovely soft serrated edge. The freshness of this plant really stands out in the garden at this time of year.
