I think I'm going to lop them down at the end of the season and repot in
some much bigger pots. The following winter I'll try and grow them
through in the tunnel.

That's what is done here, Emery. The cutting back, I mean and the
potting on, if needed. Slips are taken off at the same time, too and
thus increase the stock. Most of ours are blooming, or starting to now.


Well, I'm not sure my others will bloom. First year after all, I really
didn't expect many to flower. The foliage is very attractive too of
course, esp greenii.

Actually the 4 that went are the ones that never get any shade at all,
any time during the day. Perhaps a factor?

Thanks again to you and Ray, these are beautiful plants.
