A slender growing species from the Canary Isles with white flowers.
My young plant grows in a pot in the greenhouse - I am not expecting it to be particularly hardy, but aparently it produces seed freely,
so if it flowers I may have some youngsters to try later on.

It has flowered without much drama, and survived the cold, so I think it is hardier than I was
expecting. The flower went on to produce a good head of ripe berries, which I hope will
produce seedlings next spring.
