Nothing fancy or avant garde about these guys, but great pleasure is taken every spring in seeking out new specimens , and potting up the cuttings that have struggled and prevailed in their inhospitable winter digs -a glass of seldom changed tap water in a sporadically heated house.

I do, however, get to put them out earlier and bring them in later. Trade-offs.
