And lovely they are too Andrew...:>)

Just love the leaves on this!

's nice Andrew! You do have different plants....

~ Very different!

How unusual......

Beautiful Andrew .. well worth waiting for ....

BTW .. I have sent you a PM , BB asked me if you could grow this in the shade , I couldn't answer that question , mine is out in the open , can you help ?

Amy - I've answered on your picture but I'll repeat what I said here so people don't have to search for it.
This plant comes from Mexico so you need to give it full sun and a well drained soil. Mulch the roots well with straw for winter - the top growth gets killed to the ground but if the roots are protected, it should shoot again next spring

I saw this in flower at Trengwainton Gardens near Penzance growing in shade; at Kew its grown at the base of a southfacing wall. I'll check for flowers this week.

Richard - mine only started to flower this month
