Sweet Autumn Clematis and the Winter Moon 仙人草と冬の月

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Clematis terniflora or sweet autumn clematis are still in bloom. Clematis generally flowers from July to September and I saw the achenes surrounded by feather like white long tails in early November (after which its Japanese name is given). So, maybe I was lucky to be able to see the flowers and the winter Moon at the same time!

They're Silene gallica or more commonly known as common catchfly, small-flowered catchfly, or windmill pink. I saw the flowers last year, but not this time of the year but in April. I saw henbit yesterday and sweet autumn clematis in November, both of which had flowers also out of season.
