That .... Ed ..... is sublime.
I'm allowed to grow a few Aloes and Haworthia (and may the nomenclature police be told I'm unfazed at the thoughts of any retribution) in the conservatory. I cut flowers off because I get threats from my wife about the sticky marks on the glass. Her threatens are more frightening than any from the nomenclature police.
I might show the flowers pictures and see what response I receive.

Well I have some smaller ones Terry and, in a couple of years, they'll be big enough to plant outside permanently. Mine do better outside, as long as you protect them from slugs!

That would be a problem where I live. I have a wood and stream at the end of my garden which presents me with all kinds of issues. Remember the squirrel saga. My wife loves hostas. I attempt to grow dahlias. Mollusc paradise!
