Schizostylis Mrs G. Don't worry - you can get pills for it...
or Kaffir lily
While it's been good to have had our money's worth from annuals this past season, I'm wondering how some of the perennials are going to fare this year, especially if there's no hard weather at all to knock them back. Will it affect their vigour if they've had no proper dormant period?
Verd- you have a long season down there normally, what would you reckon?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Interesting Verdi. I always forget about the light levels - and of course we all have differing conditions which has a big impact. You have milder winters so many plants are hardy with you that wouldn't stand a chance with me. We get light till later in the day because we're farther north so that makes a difference and so on. I've got Verbena bons which are as green as they were last summer and lots of plants which should look pretty sad and tired by now are looking ready for the new season.

Roses were out last week before I gave them a haircut, pansies, white bacopa is still in flower, helichrysum, helibore and snowdrops, winter jasmine. In the g/h; alstromera, pelagoniums and penstemon. None of these are flowering profusely, but it serves to remind me that the year has 'turned' and spring cannot be far away.

Not that one Fairy - I ve looked it up and it's 'erodium pelargonilorum'. No pills needed just feel better looking at it! So so pretty, it was flowering when I got it at a 'Flowerpower' plant sale and is still going now, just love it.

I've also got pelargoniums flowering, but they are in the GH. Put them in to overwinter and they are growing & flowering.

Philippa my free Cosmos purity from GW mag did brilliantly, slow to flower but went on and on. Still have some left so will grow again this year.

who'd have thought it - can just cut n paste from previous pic to here! My brains just astound me at times! So I.T. savvy!
You're getting good MrsG - cutting and pasting!
I was looking at the next picture
The foliage looks so fresh on that pic doesn't it?

It's done really well with little attention, just in it's pot, sitting in a sheltered spot next to the GH.
