    Gosh, that is beautiful @longk You say "baby" so, how old is it? Did you raise it from a seed or cutting?
    Amazing colour combination - if a woman dressed in those colours, other women would scream: outrageous!!! But, Mother Nature really does know best I think.

      Not got much flowering at the moment but as with most of us the Clivia is a good one around this time of year.

      This Cymbidium has been in flower for about two months now in the unheated porch.

      Got a scrawny Crossandra, hoping for better flowers when the light gets better.

            that is really nice @longk for it to bloom now, your queens tears. mine all done. and it need major dividing this spring. have someone to take a clump from it.

            My Christmas Cactus is sure off schedule. it looks so uneven, going to even it up after I get it outside in May.

                  We had one years ago that flowered. It's sweetly scented isn't it Pete if I remember rightly?

                  They do need division on a regular basis don't they! I'm going to plant a division from the large pot out this year.

                    I've had a few flower over the years, and yes @Anthony Rogers it is scented, but only at night, I find.
                    Should have waited for the photo as there are more flowers open today.
