Georgous Pity I can't grow them here , to flower they have to have a cold snap, They grow beautifully on the Atherton Tablelsands.I knew a gardener who took his plants to Atherton for 2 months every year for the cool weather then brought them back to the coast in July in time for the Cairns Show to exhibit, thats dedication.
