    Will do, I must admit I have done a small amount of research and montana does seem to stand a good chance in the UK.

    Gazanias look good too, almost as many as I have to grow. ;)

    The gazanias are coming on well I'm very pleased with them so far. I've got bronze, orange, yellow , bronze/yellow stripe and a variety that starts dark bronze in the centre then fades out to yellow at the flower edges (see link).

    The seeds were from Moles Seeds who for my money are one of the best seed suppliers in the UK.

    Hey Pete, the first of my 2 remaining Queen Sagos has just started to throw its first frond. Any action from yours?

    Steve. Just to let you know that all three types you sent have a least 5 germinated. The Montana have germinated profusely. :D
