    My Clivias are doing fantastic this year! They have never flowered so well!

      They are lovely and compact.

      Shame about an awning!

        Probably the most vibrant of colours on the Anthurium or Flamingo Lily. I've tried an experiment - take photos with or without flash. I'll let you decide which is the better! :heehee:

              In place of the Clivias which have now finished flowering for this year I now have some Amaryllis!

              Except for the first one the others are offsets of plants I grew from my own harvested seeds! The first one was a present from my son & daughter-in-law two years ago. This is its 2nd year flowering with me.

                Our insectivorous plants are coming into flower with their new pitchers developing.
                Our orchids are doing well and giving us many weeks of flowering. IMG_20240322_123248.jpg IMG_20221010_162422.jpg IMG_20240322_123248.jpg IMG_20240322_123248.jpg IMG_20221010_162422.jpg IMG_20230525_170131.jpg

                    It's myrtus/myrtle - it's s tender version/variety, doesn't tolerate frost. It's not microphylla.
                    Nostalgic for me, was very popular in my childhood.

                    It gave me a couple of flowers last summer.

                        Does the Myrtle flower, I've not tried Gardenias for years, but they never lasted long with me.
                        Even the so called hardy ones.

                        yes, myrtle has a classic white flower (smelling a bit of a smoked fish - I like it :) ) - doubt, I will be able to find a photo quickly. But if I find in the end, I will post here.
                        Gardenia seemed to be difficult, but we found common language at the end. It doesn't like hot. My extension=dining room=plant room in on a cooler side during the winter. I have my plant now for a few years. It's an indoor gardenia.
