give it time Sticki, maybe a bit later due to the odd weather, or might have to wait till next year...

Sticki - I think I'm right in saying any crown on this plant that flowers then dies - the trick is to always have at least one non-flowering crown to carry the plant over to the next year

Will do, hopefully I will have a picture like this to post!!!
I'm not too sure it will be happy here with all the heat in the summer!

good luck Alex but the heat could be a problem, hope to see your seedlings too...

That's why I haven't bought the plug plants I found on line.....it might be way too hot for them here in summer.

if you have a damp shaded area it may be ok...
