    @Selleri Many thanks for solving a problem for us. We were given a plant many many years ago and had no idea what it was. Now you photo has told us...Silver Squill.

    The Christmas Schlumbergera decided to throw out a single flower, before it goes outside next month and the orange Bougie is flowering again after defoliating.

        Sarracenia flava. The petals have now fallen off but the pitchers have developed nicely with a lovely bronze tinge.

              Not in bloom and not quite a houseplant, but probably best in this section.
              The long awaited pineapple has now ripened and I cut it today, not massive but I reckon I've made a saving of around 69p.:biggrin: DSC05138.JPG DSC05144.JPG

                  No, I've not had any for a few years now, I think I might give up on them now as they take up a fair amount of space, but I do have one small plant left.

                          I would dig out and see what's in the pot. I keep rhyzomes in locked zip bags with vermiculite mixed in. Checking on them closer to spring.
