  Thanks, maybe it is a climbing aster then??!

  No it's a clematis - as the others have said 
  
  
  
  This is a "climbing aster".

  Is this the central part of a clematis flower after the outer petals have died?

  That’s my first thought too. 

  
  Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

  Yes - it could be one of the florida types, now going over, or 'Multi Blue', which is very common, and has that 'double' flower.
  
  I inherited  one here. Horrible thing. 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  I haven't seen the flower before not that I know much about Clematis. I don't think all types climb but yours seems to want to.
  
  Hope you find out what it is and what best to do

  Thanks @Victoria Sponge I suppose if I’m not hugely keen on it and it’s not doing well where it is there’s no harm experimenting and moving it.
