Lovely. Do you know the 'glad', Acidanthera? Saw it in a garden recently - it's a must have - you will love it!

Dd, was advised to keep it in a pot, because of it's habit of going walk about!
The Glad acidanthera, I have in a pot sunk into the ground, then overwintered in the garage, cause I don't find it reliable outside.

I shall keep a beady eye on it then Andrew and Siris...
I have tried to grow the Acidanthera before, had no joy though, it is a beauty Sheila I agree....

My Acidanthera pot is under the carport at present. I will start withholding water, then when completely dry put the pot in the garage. In spring repot in new compost and bring into growth in the conservatory, then sink the pot in the ground for summer. The G. papilio often leave the sunken pot overwinter in the garden, till congested.
