Think you're right, Claire, as I used to get pots of these regularly
at Philly. Haven't seen them in the last couple of trips. Used to
last, as a plant, for a couple of years and rebloom at least once
after a rest period, before just giving up. Lovely things and I wish
they'd have them for sale again there.
