Gardeners - What is this????

I've been calling it the Dr. Seuss Bush, because I can just see little eyes poking out from behind the "flowers".

Does anyone have any idea as to what this could be?







Thanks!

Re: Gardeners - What is this????

That looks just like clematis. I could be wrong, because I am SO not a gardener.

Anyway, it's sort of a climbing/vine type flower. I have three different ones at my new house. They bloom in mid-spring or so and then the petals fall off and the flowers "die", so that is what those hairy looking thing are.

Here are some pics of the blooms (taken from my backyard this spring):
