                      The Sprekelia, Echeveria and Albuca need to be frost free but cool over the winter. The Rehmannia and Arisaema should be a breeze down there with a little attention regarding drainage.

                      Bordering on invasive here until the winter came - it don't like Cotswold winters! This was a division which survived in a pot in my little nursery area at work which is sheltered and quite dry.

                      On the whole I don't really do pink but that is truly oustanding!
