Problem with Clematis Flowers - Help Please!

I posted this on the Clematis forum as well, but thought I'd post it here as this forum seems busier!

I have a Clematis that is a couple of years old, and is very healthy besides this problem. It is covered in buds right now, but whenever a new bud opens, before the next day it looks like in the pictures. It seems to only happen at night.

I spray it with a neem and soap mix regularly, and yesterday I sprayed it with a permethrin spray, removed all effected blossoms, and burned them. However, today I just looked and another brand new flower has been destroyed! It only effects the flowers - not buds or leaves.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
