I'm pleased yours had a reshoot Kathy it would have been sad to lose it after only 2 years ., maybe yours was just too old Motinot ! I passed one in someones garden today it looked completely dead but then I noticed the telltale green bits sticking out of the side , I hope the owners can see it's still alive ....... Perhaps I will leave it Mushy if the clematis is growing well if not then I can take it out .....

I've been weeding today Amy and actually quite surprised at a few things that are reshooting that I thought I'd lost, a couple of phormium that looked completely dead and my bottlebrush!!! can't believe thats survived I'd cut it right back to dig up later but has all new shoots at the base.

Thats good news Kathy would you believe that my bottlebrushes have survived as well, they have thrown up new shoots after cutting them down to the base I thought I had lost them for good , just goes to show we shouldn't give up hope too soon .......
