Can't believe how clean they are after all those (assumed) years. Wonderful.

Interesting compost, James. Is that a wood chip/fibre mix with Arizona limestone?

They're great plants. Well done!

My good friend Don Vitko bought the seed from various vendors in Europe and sowed them.

Thanks Peter. The fibrous component is pine bark - coarse pumice, not limestone.
