If it has been in that situation for a long time, I think you should leave it there and get another. I have managed a cutting which is two or three years old now, but it has taken a long time to get established and at last take off.

'Omphalodes' is such a delicate lovely flower with such a umpalumpa sounding name lol! Does it have a 'common' name I don't know? Love me tulips at the moment these 'Daydream' orange ones pretty much glow - with 'Pipit' in the background.

I moved two Clematises last year, and they are not doing very well at all in their new positions. Actually I think one of them has died completely.
I love your orange Tulips Bess They look nice and cheerful ... I don't know if Omphalodes has a common name, but I like the sound of the Latin name anyway
Well I just googled it, and it's called 'navelwort' ... don't like that name ... I shall continue to call it Omphalodes

Both are expensive plants Sue, so please make sure they are fed and watered properly and are not pot bound. Sorry for sounding so arrogant and patronising . Thanks Dai, I don't mind good advice from anyone, I'm all ears! They weren't expensive when I got them though, both were tiny little plants, when I say they've been in the pots for years I really mean it, probably anything up to 15 years or more, the Monkey puzzle could do with repotting though, it suffered a couple of years ago when we had very cold winters followed by wet springs & doesn't look as healthy as it was.

Gosh SueA, your Chaenomeles is gorgeous and takes me right back to being a little kid, we had a big bush on the driveway by our house. I haven't thought about it in ages, I must remember to get one one day. Such lovely shaped flowers. It's a very reliable plant Bess & the bees love it, I got it as a tiny stick of a plant about 25 years ago & it has grown into a lovely big bush over the years, I've even made quince jelly a couple of times from the fruits, not as good as 'real' quince though & not the pink colour, more amber colour but tasted O.K.

All lovely peony, but must comment on the pretty Primula with pretty leaves.

I just looked it up and it looks very interesting. This is a good description: www.kevockgarden.co.uk/plantlist/p14jan_aaa_catframe.htm
