    I love the colour of that flower! Are you going to take leaf cuttings so you have loads of them, Marge? Then BP can take over Somerset! :D

    Marge,lovely plant,but may I suggest when you repot it,to use a half pot.I have grown a number of these over the years,mainly gtting mine mail order from Dibley's nursery in North Wales and he suggests using the half pots,then they don't look lost, and will grow better...Brilliant dark colour though [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Not sure Somerset's ready for that yet D - mind you, there have been rumours of large cats roaming wild further down ;)

    I have some others in shallower pots Kandy - would they be half pots? They do show them off better, I agree [​IMG]
