Thanks!
They just about scraped through but recovered well. T.formosana came through with it's usual bullish enthusiasm and should be blooming by the weekend. My favourite, T.formosana "Taiwan Adbane" was clinging to life by a thread when the slugs found it! Fortunately I was able to replace it.

Reminds me of the story when the princess had to kiss the frog who then turned into a handsome prince! I think this is the handsome prince!
