Beautiful Crissue, I've bought six different ones this year. The one I kept in a pot is doing fantastic, the ones I put in the garden are getting fried by the sun. I need to give them a little shade now with the heatwaves.

Thanks all...she is lovely...Yes Karen this was one of the mail order group...they have a fantastic collection...and show at all the top shows around the country...They are very helpful...and you get a tracking number, so you can see where it is...I know Bik deals with Taylors from Greece, you'd have to check for Lagos...but the shipping info is on their Web site...

Hi Alex didn't spot you till I'd posted, I know the problem, with the heat, and I think you're hotter there than we are here... at the mo...I've just moved one to a more shady spot in the garden...

I'm thinking of putting some grass cuttings over the roots then some rocks....you think that might help? How about pine needles???

I always put rocks over the roots...think it does help :)

Thanks Karen. I have pebbles over the roots at the moment but with the heat we've been having I don't think it's enough.

Old canal type roof tiles are handy too, for shading the lower part of the stems...but I don't know if you have them in Greece... :)

Hi Alex..I put broken crocks over mine then cover with soil, and if necessary bark, especially if it's old bark, water it, it won't dry out...hope this helps...

Thanks Karenfrance and Crissue. I collected pine needles yesterday....will put them around the plant and then the rocks.
