They really do make the water come out as gently as rain ... good luck with your hunt, readily available new though AFAIK - but will probably cost 10 x as much as the can did !

LongK - I love those tubers you bought. I hope we will be seeing pictures of them fully grown. The tubers I bought earlier in this post are now starting to grow. But I haven't worked out how to display them. I could just leave them in pots, but presumably could plant them in a tropical bed and lift in autumn. Any thoughts?

 

I'm planting more plants in pots and then sinking the pots - thinking being that the plastic pot will help to retain water in warm dry periods, with the advantage of just lifting the pot at the end of the season.
