That looks extraordinary Tony.  Is it from seed & approximately how old?

I bought it as a small plant over twenty years ago and it has slowly grown a little each year. It is reasonably easy to calculate its age as it produces one new growth each year which when it goes dormant leaves a woody stump behind. Counting them gives an idea of its age.

There is one at the RBG hopefully still there which is about two feet in diameter. Mine has a way to go.

That's a serious (but totally understandable) addiction!  :D

First flower on Glottiphyllum fragrans, fragrant yes but not terribly so.

I never imagined a scene like this.  A lady came into the greenhouse today and said "your sedums look wonderful in the raised bed outside".  I dashed out later as I couldn't recall ever having planted sedums. ???  Surely they'll be frozen off soon.
