This photo just goes to prove that they look sooo much better in their natural state than stuck in a pot in Southern England. I think I'll show this to mine and shame them into being more floriferous ;)

Ahh Baa -

Show some pity! - they're obviously pining away from homesickness. They miss the lovely 36 C 100% humidity and Typhoon gales and flooding we're having today ;)

(Pity? ... Whats that?) Perhaps I should take them to the local Sauna for a holiday *G*

I thought they preferred a cooler climate to the one you seem to be experiencing now?

T. ishiiana and T. perfoliata are mountain plants that refuse to survive Tokyo summers (and that's a pity :), but hirta's a weed that does fine wherever there's a bankside in mottled shade where the soil never gets too dry.

Sorry - the charts have elevations from type localities for the two species - in Arabic numerals, or so I thought.
