    FC, I'm sure someone could rustle you up a cutting or two.
    Not got any just now, but I could root some for you.

      I'll see if I can root a couple from my "grand marnier", if your not fussy about which one you have.
      Its the one that flowers best for me.

      Might take a couple of weeks or so to get some roots.

        No problem FC, just lets see if I can root one ASAP, its a bit late now for flowering this year, but I think there is a chance of flowers by late summer.
        Lolli got somer cuttings to root late last year and they are flowering already.

          If not, I will over winter in the front porch this year, try and prevent the same happening.

          The worst of it is, ours was evicted in favour of an electric golf trolley thing for a friend in need - they subsequently moved house and haven't been heard of since - some bloody friend!

                I think it gets pretty cold in winter where it comes from, but at the same time, its probably dryer and spring comes a bit earlier, with a guaranteed summer.:smile:
