Indeed it is. Have you any photos of the whole plant? I'd love to see that.

Thanks for posting that Billy. It looks quite substantial. I like how you give a plant its "space".
I think a plant will do much better when given ample space. Personally, I dont like plants crammed together, but of course, lots of folk do. I like to see soil - I know some very good gardeners who push another plant in if they see anything resembling a tiny bare patch.
