Well done Maureen, turn the heater up, Ray will never know.

Well done!
And only four years!
I've just posted a photo of what may be my first bloom.

Well done Maureen , fingers crossed it might surprise you ;o)

I have a cardoon flower that has almost come out - but feel it will not make it - hope this comes out for you :))))))))))))))))

great maureen can you not have it in house just till flowers open. i just love these flowers ;o)

It's lovely Maureen, they are so amazing to see. I still remember the first time I saw one and that was at a flower show in Bourmouth with my O.H so thanks for reviving a lovely memory...

Wow...Good one Milky...:>)

Thanks All Sandra.....I cant bring it in as there isnt anywhere at all in the house to put it so that it gets enough light......no without a big move round of furniture....lol.....

Milky:

Congratulations, it looks great! It's a pretty hardy plant...it should bloom all winter into spring. This is the time of year the millions of plants here in San Diego bloom.

Yes Andy, but unfortunatley we dont have your winter warmth here....lol....but it is in the heated part of the greenhouse now, so maybe it will be enough for the other 3 blooms that are there......

I'm sure it's going to bloom very well!

Have you thought about putting it indoors where you can see the wonderful blooms and it be lovely and warm ?
Ps ignor my question on previous pic about how long have you had i have just read it in this pic..LOL

Mushy....I happen tpo be married to a man that cant stand heat, so unbeknown to old SP....its warmer in the greenhouse....I often go down there for a warm up Lol.....
