A confused plant - this should be flowering in late winter/early spring

Mine finished flowering about a week ago - yes, confused !

I had mine indoors in a pot this winter and it was flowering in the living room in February

Hah, how lovely.
Has it coped with going outdoors okay, will you leave it out 'this' coming winter ?

Yes, it seems happy enough to be outside. Not sure I'll leave it out though as both the previous winters killed its predecessors. I'm experimenting with planting things that will need lifting in bottomless pots to minimise root disturbance when they are moved

That's an interesting experiment and the most sensible route to take if winter survival's in question.
