Hi Tim,
Yes follow the link Alex posted to the picture on my website. Sadly, this clone is very shy of flowering. I remember Ian Butterfield telling me that he grew this for 15 years before he got his flirst flower! I have had it for about 9 years and in that time it has only ever flowered twice. So although an attractive plant I sometimes wonder if it is worth the effort!
