Thanks, the best its been as we've had no frosts to backen it and no brown leaves for a change!
Ray: I guess you know but there is a rockery version, gets to about an inch high - maybe nice for your alpine bed, Gunnera Magellanica.

The two little leaves are beginning to open out to look like leaves Dawn , I was just in time to see a nasty little caterpillar thing creeping towards it the other day , I dispatched him pretty quickly .. LOL ..

I can just picture you Amy, hastily going into action - I would be the same, these leaves are very precious, lol. So pleased they are still OK.
