    Dare I put this in?:heehee:
    A small limp stem of this Trad Albiflora was on the floor in a nursery so I saved it! Not something I normally grow but I'm soft like that, couldn't let it rot.
    It repaid me by giving me these huge flowers. :biggrin:

      Aeschynanthus Lobbianus (Lipstick plant). Don't ask which in particular, the label was discarded by SWMBO :doh:Apologies for the picture quality :redface:

              Can't compete with that Freddy!:dbgrtmb:
              My B&Q clearance Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergia) which dropped most of it's buds at Christmas is now flowering with about 15 new buds forming. I think it has decided it's going be an Easter Cactus instead.:smile:

                      Cor! That is a beauty - Mrs Woo is truly loved!
                      Hope you find out how to care for it so she can continue to enjoy its beauty.

                        Oxalis triangularis "Cupido" went semi dormant through Winter and didn't look too well so I removed it from its pot that went inside this planter. Then I scraped away about half of the compost around the tubers. Then I put coarse grit in the base of the planter and refilled /replanted in Humax and gritty sand. Within a couple of weeks, she rallied and is throwing up flowers and fresh new leaves. There's the Spring show on 28th March and I think she'll be my entry for Class 40 - "Foliage pot plant - can be in flower "

                          @Jenny namaste - mine is just coming back after it's winter rest. Not sure about the clump that I planted out last year though.
