It is difficult to separate this species from C. lasiantha by photos alone. My standard for identification is the blooming season, which happens to be later for C. ligusticifolia. This Clematis vine is draped over the concrete and stone bridge that is the focal point of the garden. The plant is toxic according to Wikipedia.

You know when you walk into a place, gasp, and think, this is perfection? Welcome to San Ysidro Ranch. I was perfectly happy at the Four Seasons (I would have to be daft not to be) but had always wanted to see this place for myself. It was seven minutes up the road from the Four Seasons Biltmore. Eucalyptus trees line the driveway leading to the property You may know the history of San Ysidro Ranch--Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier stayed here as did Jack and Jackie Kennedy for their honeymoon. It is a gem of a hideaway. The pretty reservation office with the nicest staff who didn't mind me roaming around with camera in hand. This lobby is my idea of a perfect family room--wood floors, white walls, lots of pillows and comfy seating. Which is why I am now thinking to paint most of my interior walls a soft white (goodbye Golden Gate, you've served me well). Let's drive back to the guest cottages Even the parking slips are enchanting Climbing roses are in abundance Star jasmine climb the posts and clematis covers the pergola Another guest cottage Hydrangeas galore Herbs planted between the paving stones that lead us through an arbor So much lavender and rosemary. The fragrance, colors, texture work so beautifully together that when I returned home I planted a bunch around my pool. This is the Stonehouse restaurant. Very swanky dining on the property. Vegetable gardens for guest dining (you know, in the restaurants, not for munching away in the garden) Hydrangeas along the stone steps I did grab the opportunity to tour the Laurel cottage. I didn't take any pics but it was what you would imagine. Four poster bed, stone fireplace, wood floors, comfortable seating area, indoor and outdoor shower. The darling bellman told me everything in the minibar was gratis for guests (which seems only right given the nightly rates start at $600). Time to leave. But, I'm telling you, someday I'm going to splurge and stay here for a few nights. Oh, yes.
