      Just normal room temperature, good light but no strong hot sunshine.
      Always flowers around the Christmas period.

          @Fof ours aren't even showing buds! Lovely to see yours in such gorgeous colour.

          A couple of my Dendrobiums are in flower - usually April so a couple of months earlier. The D. kinganiums never seemed to do as well and finally expired a couple of years ago.

            Well done @Philippa ! I've always had trouble with dendrobiums - probably because I wasn't consistent enough about keeping them dry when building flower buds.

              On a day like this, you need something like this :)

              My reduced to clear Amaryllises are now throwing out pillows of blooms, and I keep finding the , ditto, reduced to clear Hyachints here and there around the house in places I had forgotten about. :heehee:

              The Hyacinths were not prepared bulbs or anything like that, I just potted up anything that didn't fit into outdoor planters and am now finding the pots guided by the scent. :)

              I also have the surplus of (gasp- reduced to clear! :biggrin:) small Narcissi and Daffs in pots here and there around the house so hopefully I'll be enjoying flowers for months to come. :)

                I think I put the cyclamen up last month, but they really do last all winter in the unheated porch, the smaller one on the left is a seedling from presumably the red one.

                  Not much flowering outside, but a few indoor plants bringing some colour to the house. In no particular order or type.

                  One of the above is not quite what it seems. Let's see who spots it first.

                    The Strelitzia doesn't look right to me.
                    Leaves look ok but the flower looks false.:smile:

                      The Bird of Paradise is rather unique. ;)

                        Well done @pete! It came with a plastic flower and as the plant gets bigger I increase the height. It's only a few years old. My previous one did flower, but the photo is on hard copy somewhere. It was very beautiful.
