Well, the plant certainly seems to like the spot it has found in the greenhouse, as it has been flowering for weeks. I am going to let it fight it out with the cucumbers for the netting support.

In the garage earlier and came across my Pleiones which are starting to come into life. So I've just potted them up and placed them in the cool bedroom. Should have a few of these in about a month now.................Uploaded with ImageShack.usThat's a month or two early really, but...
