Here is an article I stumbled across in the Toronto Star http://www.thestar.com/article/271962

Here is the picture from the Toronto Star.

Here is one of my Musella lasiocarpa that is 2 years old. These are one of my favourite varieties and look great when potted. It ia about 5' tall to the tip of the highest leaf... Well that was until I cut all the leaves off for winter storage. I am hoping for a flower this spring.

They (Musella lasiocarpa) where introduced here about a decade ago. They have fallen out of favor and it's rare to find them in garden centers anymore. I'm not sure why that is, and even I don't grow it. The one I had suffered from the arid summer conditions and it was nearly impossible to eradicate the spider mites.

Cheers, Barrie.
