Thanks Steve for the advice (some are , some aren't,although i have a few,not all pictured though that are in Stone pots and they seem to thrive,think they are better protected from the frost and heat??)
thanks everyone for your comments,I couldn't fit them all in on the phone,its been a bit cooler the last few days so some have perked up pretty quickly,some have even flowered that weren't doing so before !!! Strange
