We have a door from the bath to it, but it is really a pretty unusable area. That's funny about the immortelle! I'm sure I could do it too. I put my calla lilies in the side yard with lots of shade. Since they grow like weeds in CA, maybe they will do OK for me? My garden area is outside in strong sunlight and no outside water except for rain.

I had immortelle in a built-in big pot next to the tub in mine (immortelle means immortal/everlasting after all) and it managed to die as well..... I think it was due to excess moisture and lack of good light (well, one does shade the shades when taking a bath, right?) Good luck! Hmmm….baths are hard!

I've been having fresh flowers this year too. I didn't think lilies would do well here, because of the heat, but I could be wrong. The only flowers I've had are from the Plumbago that I planted instead of the ugly green shrubs. I'm enjoying my fuchsia plants. I figured if they lasted longer than cut flowers, I'd be ahead of the game. I need something to find that would flower in a garden off my bath. Unfortunately there is no outside access and we've more or less blocked the inside access (without moving things) so it would have to do with whatever natural water there is, which varies from torrential to simply hot and humid.

They're little trees actually and belong to the olive family, so they're sturdy and they're wonderfully fragrant for spring! I am a *terrible*, chronically tragic gardener, so I have given up :-(
