    They look unreal :)

    I'm not sure how big mine will get. They are in the pond margin, and the liner runs under the soil, so the amount of soil is very limited. I've planted another on the pond bank where it has unlimited soil, but hopefully where I can give it plenty of water to encourage it to monsterise :)
