    I'd like 1 umbrella off one of these to grow a new plant, happy to pay postage costs

    I did this quite recently (last autumn) and already it has grown into a plant like the illustration. I upturned the "umbrella" in a jar of water and a couple of weeks later it had roots.

    Are you in Dublin? I'd be willing to meet and hand one over

    I've a few too.
    Was growing in a garden in Portugal and I took a section home. Growing well. Have it split into 4 or 5 now.

    Hi
    I would very much appreciate a 6 inch sliver or suchlike that I can cultivate.
    I love this plant and have been searching for it.
    Thank you. I am in Killiney and would travel for it

    Looking for one as well. Anyone know where to buy one or anyone has an offshoot?
    Dublin or Wicklow area.
