          I didn't know that. 3x allotments is a serious commitment, well done you :)

          They aren't some YUPPIE pocket handkerchief affairs I trust? Proper 10-rod jobbies?

              Durban has it's first flower open today!! It appears to be virused so it will be disposed of but I thought I might as well wait for it to flower as it is a beauty.

                I've just had an email from Jungle Seeds listing their autumn rhizomes:

                http://www.jungleseeds.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d68.html

                You'll need to give them space somewhere frost free with light (for me that means indoors):

                I had to bin all mine a few years ago for the same reason. I've only really started again since I moved.

                  I can finally join in now!

                  Many thanks to Joolz for the seed - the labels got muddled so not too sure which one this is...................
                  [​IMG]

                  Anyway, it's a gem!
                  [​IMG]

                  Grown big too, especially as the seed was sown at the end of February!
                  [​IMG]

                  As you can see, I bought it into the house on Sunday to bloom as the space was needed in the greenhouse for my Cantua.

                    You did!
                    Got one heck of a tuber to it too! There are a total of eight shoots in this pot.
