    Tacitus bellus, a bit like a tender house leek, but the flowers are different.

    It looks like Oleander leaves to me. My flowers are double. What size shrub is it, Strongy? A Kalanchoe is very small, an Oleander is very large.

    Oh, Pete, you have the red Brugmansia ... I've only just discovered it and have never seen it here .. you lucky devil!
