      It was one of my "go for something different" punts and described as a novelty on the site I got it from (am I allowed to say where?). I was worried it might be a bit of a disappointment, but it's such a pretty pink and the way the flower separates is quite fascinating. Just got to try and keep it alive through the winter now...!

        I'll happily try to do some cuttings for you. I think I've said before I have varying success with them but I'll give it a bash!

          Oh, I've just got another crush.

          Pretty in pink!

          Oooh, love that colour. It looks quite peachy pink on my PC - is that how it is in the "flesh"?

              I never noticed but actually it does look a bit peachy pink.

                    :) That so true.

                    I used to be a frequent visitor to the Digital Spy forums and still go there sometimes, but quite often I'll come away feeling irritated or perplexed, but I know if I come to Gardeners' Corner I'll just feel happy.
