It was one when I bought it about 4 years ago. Up until this year it was in a pot half that size so it certainly appreciates some space.

My Green Goddess doesn't look like that either, because I can't find it ;D I remember a few of us got them a year or so ago, I posted a picture of one off the web with a tiny frog on it

Thinking about it I reckon mine is in the half barrrel, I'll have to have a mouch about in there and see whats what.

It dies right back in winter and seems pretty tough. No need to take it in but all my other Arum lilies go in the greenhouse for winter.

It didn't seem to mind RF, it looks a picture of health!

I thought this lily has a japanese look, sort of pagoda leaves

and still on the Japanese them, this is the Japanese Painted Fern I moved earlier this year, it didn't seem to mine either

Must admit that I can't stand the stuff but I agree that it looks good when it flowers.

Thanks for the noms everyone i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif .
I agree it is terrible stuff to deal with, mine gets a hack back in January most years. It does cover up a hideous breeze block wall that used to be part of the neighbours garage.
My neigbours aren't the brightest & they demolished the rest of the garage and left a totaly unsupported wall right on my boundary, I think the Ivy is the only thing holding it up.
