    Are they coping well with our current wet, damp and cold weather?

    Not sure, but I dont think one or two of those are noted for being hardy.

    That one foreground right looks like the big one I have in my conservatory, if so its a dry cold, and then no frost.
    Likewise most of the others.

    Nice collection, Babe, but they are babes as well. :)

    At their tender age they would not survive with me here (not because I'm Cruella de Ville) but out in their homeland desertland (let's just say Arizona because I know it well) they would live in the freezing desert at night but warmed by the daytime sun ....this doesn't happen in the UK sadly .... :(

    I've lost a Sanseveira here outside .... :D

    And stop talking about your 'big one' in the conservatory, pete .... we've seen pictures of it ..... s00k
