      Indeed :hapfeet: - i thought I would take advantage of the strong GBP towards the euro therefore buying endless seafood salads and grilled fish for a fraction of the price.

      I'd hazard a guess at Echinopsis Mira, usually night blooming, (opens in the evening and last the following day if kept in the shade), some are scented.
