My local garden centre ALWAYS has them at 50% of RRP. One might almost suspect it's a con!

Thank you everyone. That seems to be unanimous! Looks an attractive flower and plant so I'll leave it alone.

@Tidemark Your "suggestion" of Morecambe and Wise for the dancing statues is excellent. Very apt in fact as one of their TV shows pictured M and W in bed together. "in bed together" describes T and E rather well Alledgedly of course
