I have several bunches of what looks like it, mine is Sweet Autumn Clemantis.
You might look that up and see if the close up matches yours.
Mine has very small flowers and I do not recall seeing the stamens as large as yours, but cannot tell how much of a closeup you have.
Does it smell sweet? If so, I believe it may be white honeysuckle:

Maybe we should rename it "The Republican Plant". This sounds familiar... n/t jtuck004 Aug 2012 #8
