No, I do not like this plant.  It does not grow well here and flowers about 
the time the frost kills it.  I don't see it around much anymore but I do 
remember when it was very desirable and you were "cognoscenti"  if it was in 
your garden. 

On Melianthus, I may be lacking an artistic viewpoint  but I don't see any 
sense in growing some big ferny thing that collapses if you touch it too much 
especially after paying a huge price for it.  You cannot hold it over unless 
you have major greenhouse space as it becomes quite large.  I yield to all 
those who love Melianthus, I am not one.
