Apache Plume vine?

I need some help to ID this vine. It looks like the Apache Plume which is a shrub. But, this is a vine. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? it was blooming white, feathery plumes and had entertwined itself into a 6' tall bush. They were so pretty and wispy. I've just never seen anything like it before.

Well, it's already been identified:

Species Clematis, Drummond's Clematis, Virgin Bower Vine
Clematis drummondii

Thanks to Chargreen in the Texas Gardening Forum,
