    I have put bromeliads around my woods and the Billbergia nutens have started flowering:

    I don't really do anything to them except enjoy the flowers at this time of year.

          Lost mine last winter Stephen. Gem of a plant though, so I'll try again.

            One of my Lavender bushes has started flowering again, which was a surprise.

                  Found some colour - indoors. I will have to be happy with that until my garden wakes up!
