    This is a plant I got as a gift from one of my Spanish suppliers and just noticed today it is blooming. Any ideas please?

      I've got this flowering now, it's quite hardy here. The leaves turn a nice red colour in cold weather.
      I can't remember the name. I'll look it up for you.

          Just going by the flower I'd suggest some kind of sedum.

          I wrote this earlier but didn't post it because I had second thoughts.

            Thank you Michael, I thought you would come along. I notice my leaves have a red tinge. It is quite pretty.

              I've taken mine into the greenhouse now but it was out for two nights in the deep freeze we had before Christmas. It doesn't seem to have suffered at all. Other winters I just leave it outside all the time.
