Oh no, if you can't grow them in Portugal I've got no chance here in Wales it's always raining!!!
Oh well, I like a challenge.

Thank you, lovely aren't they? I have just 'discovered' them.

Val

 

Well, at least you'll not have to worry about keeping them out of direct sunlight!

 

True!!

Val

Oh thank you for that, I have bookmarked it!! What a lovely collection she has.

Yup, I had quite a collection of them at one point.
Moved house, moved greenhouse, and lost all of them

Really interesting plants to grow.
I was in the Everglades about 15 years ago and fascinating to see them in the wild.
