Hi Judy, thanks a lot for those pictures, I've added them to the wiki. I've been unlucky with M. longiflora myself, for me they are just about surviving for a few years, but never flower. Just like you I've got them in a container, keeping them dry in the frost free garage in winter. I wonder what's wrong with eitehr my climate or my method of keeping them...
