A neighbor asked if I knew what this was. It covers 20+ feet of his
chain link fences, but he didn't plant it. Somebody thought it was
honeysuckle(by smell I think), but I only found yellow-flowered
honeysuckles online. Bees and insects love it.

That sure looks like Sweet Autumn Clematis (Clematis paniculata). I have
this in full bloom on my chain link fence right now. Yes, the bees and
insects love it. I am hoping to one day have it cover all of my fence.

Looks like Clematis terniflora aka or used to be known as Clematis paniculata.
Commonly known as sweet autumn clematis. Mine bloomed all spring, summer, and
now into fall. A very unusual year.

I found it under the terniflora/Sweet Autumn name... that is defintely
it!

This thing is huge,totally hides the top of the fence under a mound
for 20'.

Thanks Dave & animaux
