Isn't it just HB! A little like a very fancy Fuchsia flower to my eyes.

It's grown well then, hasn't it Meanie? Are you growing it indoors or in the Greenhouse?

This one is indoors. I received another the same day from somebody else and that one is in the greenhouse. Looks happy enough, even though it is unheated.

Oh dear Meanie, ours is outside.. lo!! l read an an article written by Stephen Lacey saying how well it does indoors!! another one for my poor OH to rescue and bring in......

I doubt that it will do too well outdoors! It does in the Azores though.

I'm pleased it's flowered for you.
I only put them out in a shelter during the summer months.

I'm really pleased with it Hywel! Lots of new growth coming through, and the flowers are even better in the flesh than the photos.

Yes they are ... and I'm glad it's putting on some new growth. It will be better still next year :o)

I love this plant!
I have mine outside....
The pot is now so crowded. It needs a bigger pot yesterday! I planted one in the garden to see how well (or not) it grows.

No chance outdoors here, although I have another one in the unheated greenhouse that is doing ok.
