This is the seed head of a clematis vine. Clematis is a vine that climbs up and over trees to get to the top of the forest canopy, often strangling trees below. In some areas Clematis is killing off native bush.

The vine has beautiful flowers and does look wonderful when flowering. Many gardens have clematis vines growing over arches they make a wonderful show during the summer months. But in the wild can be deadly when it gets out of control.

I find the seed head facinating. This one was about 2cm across and is very soft and fluffy. Each strand in the head has a seed anchourd to its base.

PP. I used paint shop to crop and rotate the image slightly to get a better composition.

Hi Sue, good shot of the seed head, what an unusual look to it - more like feathers. Great contrasts showing it against the Blue sky. Well done.
