Forty years km, I am very jealous. Still, I wouldn't give away my eight, they were the very best years, just too few. Hydrangeas do quite well in pots as you know and do well from cuttings, and thinking of my own shaded spots I love my Mexican Daisies, erigeron, despite their pest weed designation. They are so pretty, never stop, and can take any kind of neglect. They look especially good in pots.
I am considering a bit of wholesale plant napping. There is a small pink rose, very thorny, low growing, in the path bed at the refurbed flat where the builders are piling their discards. I'm thinking of relocating it, with my spade. I happen to know that it is surrounded by old fashioned cream freesias which could also come live in my garden. We'll see how my grumpy body feels later today, it might be up to a bit of stealthy daylight digging...
