    Hi,

    I inherited a tree(ish) shrub bush thing a couple of years ago when I moved into this house.

    The tree is in a large(ish) pot around 16" across and seems to throw out little stalky things to cling to a wall. It currently is around 6 feet tall.

    The little blue flowers are just potted in the pot and nothing to do with the shrubby treeish thing.

    Cheers

    Sean

    I agree with you, Bluequin. Climbing Hydrangea or, to give its full name, Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris. More about it here:
