     Lunacy, this was a swap with my friend in the Azores last year, the first few flowers were quite unimpressive he kept saying just wait it'll get better and OMG it certainly did!!

    Lucky you Hostafan image mine finished a couple of weeks ago now, well except for 4 or 5 that are reblooming and some seedlings, I might have to look out for Marion Vaughn for late flowers, next summer seems so far away.

    kathy , "she" was still flowering in November last year, even after frosts. Not saying that's typical, but it's what happened last year.
