Hi Janet! No, I have none of these. I am seeing them all over though, the hottest thing around here this season in the nurseries. I am in love with them. I have no room for them and they grow BIG!! You need a different soil than I have too. They thrive on neglect and no fertilizer. They would never survive here in my yard.

I may be growing up finally, I do not feel the incredible need to possess everyone but realize I can enjoy and love them deeply from afar.
