Mmm… bugger Tim. These things happen I guess. Live and learn! Thanks for jumping on board at any rate.

Mine is out as well - it’s survived, barely, but no development.

I have to bail out aswell, work has been killing me and many of my trees over the last 6 months. The one I had for this was coming along Really well, then dried out, did a Lazarus, flowered, rinse repeat two more times before finally being truly dead, not even the two weeks of solid rain was enough to revive it a fourth time

As they say in the classics… “stuff happens”, but the good news for all the non-finishing entries is that you still get to vote at the end because you turned up with a plant at the start!
