      Not tried it outside Clive, but I think it might survive on a warm wall, the scent would probably not be noticeable then though.
      I find it a bit shy regarding flowering, but maybe I need to build it up a bit more.

      How did you get on with the "anastasia" cuttings?

      Caught one last flower on mine today, significantly smaller than the previous flowers. Starting to wonder whether mine is elegans as well.

      Do the leaves on yours have little silver spots?

        Not noticed any spots on the leaves coolsox.
        Mine has only produced the one flower, but there are other buds, unlikely to make it though.

        I've neglected it, its only in a 5in pot, but I have fed it.
