So I was mooching around eBay the other day, and found some interesting seeds, all totally unsuited to the Irish climate and all calling out 'buy me, buy me!' 
As usual I gave in, and ended up buying some Baobab tree seeds, AKA the upside down tree. The seller claims that they can be grown as a bonsai, so I'll give this a try. Has anyone else tried growing these in the Irish climate before? I'm not so insane as to think they'll grow outdoors, I'm more hoping for a conservatory plant that'll scoot outside on hot summer days.
Oh, and this little story is the reason I bought them, total sucker I know...

Below are pictures of the tree (obviously mine won't be this size...) and the flowers which are produced at night apparently.
