    I've never had one but yours looks nice. Apparently it is hardier than previously thought, it's one of those houseplants that has been trialled for growing outdoors, and has a reasonable chance of surviving most winters.

    Did you know that a few years ago Aspidistra plants were valued at �£10 PER LEAF. I don`t know what the price is nowadays. David.
