Such pretty flowers, Hywel. I had this on the rockery a few years back.

I grow them in pots, it's too wet here for them to be in the ground.

I can understand that, Hywel. My rockery is almost vertical and needs a lot of water, well, with certain plants,

Lovely, I don't have much success either these outside.

Beautiful flowers, Hywel! 👏 The first time I ever saw this plant, & was tempted to buy a few, was some years ago when we went to have a birthday party for me in our daughter's house, in a village a few miles from us. There was a plant sale on that day & she gave me some money to buy whatever plants I liked as a birthday present! I saw these plants & immediately wanted to buy a couple or 3! But when I saw the price on them I thought I could get more plants with the money I had been given! Later when I found out what conditions they prefer I was glad I had not bought them as they wouldn't have been happy on the balcony & I would have wasted my money!

I later bought 5 Pelargoniums for almost the same price. I knew these would grow on the balcony as I had grown them for years.

They’re beautiful Hywel, and I know they’re not easy.
