I've just bought the white form too Alan, so hopefully I'll have two blooming this time next year.

OK Meanie - how do you keep the snails off it?

A common question Andrew!
As the spot that I have lined up for them will not be ready until the shed is replaced it's still in a pot which makes it easier. So it stands on a saucer of sand, on shelving under the apple tree, with slug pellets and is kept as cold as I dare.
I'm sure that the problems will start once it's in the ground though.
