It flowers annually, the part that has flowered dies off but the rest of the plant keeps growing. It grows side shoots too and I've taken these as cuttings and grown them on - usually starting them in water until they root, then planting them out.
Ok cheers Veggie

My pot planted cuttings are not looking that great so I did actually take some more last week that are sitting in water on the windowsil.

How right you are, if his machine fails he's determined to capture every stamp by biro or marker Sad  must be a Wiltshire thing.

We sent out our roving reporter, Veggie of the G&G Daily Post to investigate.......... here is Veggie's Report :-

My enquiries always led me back to Frank Wiltshire, the 1st Class postal worker, who is attributed with never letting a stamp go unfranked. He agree to an interview as long as he was paid at overtime rates for the time it took.
Mr Wiltshire, may I call you Frank?
I had noticed that Emblazoned on his Jobs-worth cap in gold braid were the letters "N.U.T.".
Mr Wiltshire explained that N.U.T was his motto - "Never Used Twice". His colleagues in other parts of the UK had other ideas and made fun of him relentlessly. Mr Wiltshire said he was only doing his job and had recorded the Mails (and Femails) responsible in an attempt to stamp it out.
He was very dismissive of other postal workers, most of whom had allotments, because he said they turned a blind eye to envelopes containing seeds. They know its seeds by the sound they make as they pass along the conveyor belt - a sound which irritates Mr Wiltshire, reminding him of his grandfather who always had dirty fingernails and mud on his boots.
Mr Wiltshire, suddenly stood up, pointed at a pile of envelopes, and stomped off, muttering something about First class Males waiting for no one..............

Big Grin she's not known as a nutter for nothing!

I would say I've always had an issue with stamps. They hold post if it's slightly over and won't deliver- they don't knock the door for the extra so I have to go to the post office. Everything has a black marker struck through. I took a load of letters to be checked there once and one stamp had a bit of selotape partially covering a stamp and they had a go then!
