I've got a cristata and it is always spring flowering, but I keep it bone dry and fairly cold all winter, it's only just starting to grow now. Usually flowers outside in may. It's a small division from an old plant that had got too big and heavy to bring in the winter before last.

A happy story in the news? Really? Really!
