          Yeah but year round the conditions are better for the plant than we get here.
          We know they don't like being moved when they are flushing, just wonder if moving around the garden and into greenhouse over winter etc. Has any affect on growth.

            That is a good point because obviously Cy is never moved as we would need a small fork lift. :biggrin:

                  My little plant I bought last year appears to be making a move. 16575359726397911644176851903007.jpg

                    It certainly does Pete. It is obviously enjoying the heat. Will you just put it in the Conservatory for the Winter?

                      I will over winter for as long as I can under cover, but if it should get too big, or more likely, I get too weak then it will have to stay outside.

                          That fattened it up a bit. Looks good.
