I also found some other botanical names for that beauty:
Clematis clarkeana 'Winter Beauty',
Clematis urophylla 'Winter Beauty',
Clematis yunnanesis 'Winter Beauty'
You can choose which one you like most.
It grows in my client's garden - have never seen it before so had to learn about it.
Found out it is not fully hardy, needs winter protection or sheltered spot.
In this case it grows in as sheltered spot. and is quite happy there.

It evidently blooms in the winter, so I wonder if it is really so fragile. I have never seen it before, but it is very nice.

Katarina - the winters here are so mild - you can hardly call it winter, lol. Comparing with winters in our areas...
You're welcome Marybells:) It is really unusual - will keep an eye on it for next few weeks :)

not that tiny - I would say about 3 cm long? slightly more than an inch if you prefer, lol.
will try to measure them next time and take more pictures. More flowers should be open ;-)
