Geoff and I moved to our present house in December 2013. Starting from scratch it's been a huge challenge but we love it. joanboston357@gmail.com

#foliagefriday bought this as a small plant 14 months ago. From floor to tip it is 3’ ! Don’t worry it doesn’t live by the radiator, just finding a suitable spot to photograph it😀

@lifeonaroofterrace I have it in a bright spot but not direct sunlight, out of any draught
