Have you edited the title?
Maybe I was having a "dumbass" moment earlier - "Illumination" is the Digitalis/Isoplexis cross, so this is not really late is it?

It's deffo about to bloom this year!!
Make sure it's well protected this winter - Isoplexis is tender. I have a few coming along nicely from seed that Tetrarch sent me.
Here's a picture of one of your plants parents (taken at Oxfords botanic gardens last year on the day that I met up with Tet there).............

Thank you Meanie....Such a fabulous plant....I would rather have the parent colour than the 'illumimation pink' colour....Will put a pic on when these flowers open....:>)

I have sixteen Isoplexis, so if any bloom and set seed I'll let you know...............
