Gorgeous flowers, Alice. That purple firespike will keep on opening, and opening. Mine's been 'in bloom' for 2 months now and the flowers just keep coming on. Camellia is lovely, too.

I found a pretty little surprise in the "begonia nursery" today - a cutting of Gryphon with one ratty leaf has a pretty panicle of delicate apple-blossom flowers, sort of greenish with pink stems and pink wash on the flowers. Nice bonus on something I've really just bought for the foliage.

Gazanias I planted in a bowl sulked for weeks after the last cold, but are coming on strong now. Just in time for another cold night tomorrow!

My white Squirrel's Tail from Rita has its first bloom.
