This really is extraordinary. In the biggest greenhouse this morning, a
customer suddenly said "WHAT'S THAT????" and there, buzzing about a stand of

I did hear something last year about some over wintering in UK but no
reports of them breading here yet.
I should think they were really at home with you in the glasshouse.
