Hi Susan and Derek,

I have a source for Couborough in Germany, Christoph Kruchem,
www.hortensis.de. He also sells "Mr. Martin" (which is said to have giant
blooms, but I've never seen it) and "White Giant".
The latter I have and it is very different from a normal aethopica, making
"giant" leaves spreckled with white and growing very fast even during cold
weather. This variety seems to need no dormancy, I put mine into the
basement (somehow anticipating it would die down) and it just keeps growing
and flowering. I can very much recommend growing it.

is a pic, I placed the plant outside to give it a little light as it has
been quite warm here (Munich) recently. The pot is 40x40 cm, and a flower is
just coming (sorry for the poor quality of the pic, it's too dark outside to
take good photos).
