I think a visit is called for.

Ahh damn ill give them a try anyway, thanks for the info ill keep an eye out for the pods!

Thank you so much for your help! really good to know what they are so that I know how to care for them.

Lovely! Thanks. It's rather beautiful so I'll try to get some somewhere

Thankyou both I have told my friend she glad to know the name she looked on net and found out now how to care for it
