Hi SL. I had this cutting given me about three years ago and it has made a lovely little bush and smothered with buds. The scent when they are all out is fab.

I bet the scent is lovely, I keep thinking about getting one.

Oooh lovely Cinderella, I had one of these once and kept it for quite a few years until it got 'out of hand' sizewise!! The only thing I didn't like about it was it dripped 'syrup'!!! I guess that's what it does naturally for some reason!!! I have never bothered with another since, but we can all look at your beautiful flowers. Thank you. Shirl.

Thank you Shirl, I have to say that I haven't noticed it dripping anything yet, but when I took a few cuttings from it I found a white sap coming from the cut. Mind you I don't water it that often either, so perhaps you gave it too much and it dripped, just a thought. But I will definitely look out for that now. Thank you.

H'm maybe it was my treatment of it - I never thought of that! I just thought it was something it did naturally!!
It was a bit like 'sundew' sort of stuff and came out of the flowers after a while, usually when they were beginning to go over.

They are beautiful, I just wish they would hold their heads up.
