This plant had a bit of an accident just before this photo was taken. I lifted it out of the greenhouse and hit the long flower stem off the roof. It bent.......it is being held up by the door. I have waited all summer to photograph it. Will get a better photo next year. Who says us gardeners aren't patient.

Each flower is a perfect little 'Art Neauveau' lantern!

It is still flowering Jane, but it is leaning against the shelves in the greenhouse.

Shame that it's so late as mine always produces plenty of viable seed.
I do have one in bloom (in the garden) at the moment too.

I am interested in the seed.....must go and see how it is doing. Thanks Meanie.

I would love some Meanie. I can send you my address and stamps. :0)
I bought it at Culzean Castle this year and put it in a pot so that I could look at it often. I have put it in the greenhouse for winter, but I would love to increase the number of plants for next year.
I wasn't too upset Amy as it is still flowering away propped up.

No need for stamps etc - just pm me an address.

I store mine dry in the shed.
