I would concur with that ID Ken
I'm starting to lean towards Clematis terniflora.
It could be one of the species that the website below says it often gets confused with.... I looked up one and it looks a lot like the flowers and leaves in your picture:

chesterbperry, I added a shot of the leaves. Not the best shot, but maybe helpful on ID.
I would agree with virgin bower, would need to see the leaves to determine species.
