Beautiful blooms and really healthy plants Tom.
I guess I really have to get myself another of those plants. I don't have anything growing in the house, except dust bunnies, and I am beginning to miss the color of indoor blooms.

Those are beautiful, my grandmother used to have a huge one hanging on her front porch & Ive wanted one for a long time but I can never seem to find them at the big garden centers here.

That first one is awesome. Never seen one grow that large. I don't seem to have much luck with them. I plan on getting another and see if I can do better by it!! Hopefully it will last past New Years Day.

Nice ones!  I've killed several of those in my time. One was very eaten by the degus too.

I'm hoping mine are going to look as good as yours soon Tom. I have one tiny bud so far so fingers crossed as I think these plants are really lovely.

I love them and love to see the different shades. Mine are big juicy buds - I must take a piccy before they burst open. Mine are always late as they grow in the conservatory where at this time of year it is rather chilly.
