Our's is the opposite - we've had about 10 days straight of >25 C
temperatures and in fact it looks like we might break the record number
of days at this temperature. What's going on - this is supposed to be
autumn - you know cool, wettish, deciduous trees dropping leaves, etc?
So far it's been more like summer than summer was!

Maybe, but I've heard that customs here is pretty strict on imported
plants in vitro may not make any difference to them (a few seeds between
friends never hurt anyone ;-) ). Besides, I doubt that I could keep the
seedling alive long enough for it to get properly established... :-( It
doesn't really matter - eventually I'll be able to get hold of a plant
(I hope!) And of course, there is the slight problem of space, or rather
lack of it, sure another plant...
