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...

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......
