Iochroma australis (white form)

Gorgeous .....looks really good with the light shining on the flower

Thanks! Got a few deformed blooms on this one too, but I think that it needs potting up/planting out.

Strange how they so that sometimes

Or too hot maybe - it was in the greenhouse.

Too hot? At least that's not often a problem we have here!

It was 40°c in there the other day when I forgot to open it up in the morning!

unheard of here! no greenhouse though! but because of all the shade the trees make i doubt it would ever get that hot

T'was a bit warm, although there was some good humidity going in there!

did it tempt you to grow even more exotic plants?

No - it's too cool at nights and too damned cold come the winter!

you are not a fan of cold weather are you! no wonder you love that brilliant orange orchid ~ its such a hot colour!

Hate the cold!!

Should be happy with tomorrow's forecast then?

B. cold at the moment (6am)!

I know! i thought it was supposed to be sunny! so i left home at 5.30 with only a cardigan ~ because they promised it would be 20 and sunny! then someone came and said it was raining! left work about 11.30, still cloudy, called into local town and half an hour later its 20 degrees with blue sky!
