How old is that plant Chris? It looks like the big parent is winning. Great color and the branching growth are going to make that a very interesting plant. Any blooms yet?

Hi Buck,
I guess I have had it about 8 years - it has never flowered for me and seems slow growing - however it does have to put up with my hard growing conditions for those that are chucked out for the summer and ignored under the bench for the winter. I'll try propagating it at some stage (when space permits).
This is another slow one - but this stays in the greenhouse - A. pearsonii (rubbish photo but still)
