    Thanks Pam, I think I've got to start another thread though - I can't see when I 'reply' where I can post the image! OR, am I being particularly thick....? Don't answer that maybe......

    Maybe I'm BANNED for some odd reason from uploading? All I get is 'post icons' and 2 rows of 'smilies'.

    That's weird. I added it via Photobucket, it appeared as a small icon, but then didn't appear above. I'll have another go..

    Mmm. Gone into advanced and it doesn't appear to be there.

    Here it is then! These flowers seem to close at night and reopen in the morning (bit like Sainsury's...) and they've been in bloom for about 2 months now. They are lovely. I also notice that the flower, when it dies leaved small black seeds behind, I'd like to try and grow more but wanna know what it is first.

    Thanks :thumb:

    Looks like Commelina Coelestis Sleeping Beauty - or one of the other Commelinas.

    If you have any spare seeds I would love to have some :thumb: :)
