    I've found it to be one of the easiest and most flowiferous (is that a word?), of the ones I've tried.
    But not tried that many really.

        I know I only posted a pic of this earlier in the week but I loved it even though it is only one flower the scent it's giving off is amazing:dancy:

                        Very jealous lolimac

                        Mine has dropped all its leaves but have lots of little leaves on it again. No idea why. Anyone got any ideas?

                          Ditto for most of mine, I think it's the cold make them do that, I can't afford to keep mine hotter than 4C which must be right on their limit as one or two are OK.
