      Yes - but you're not supposed to type it otherwise it's no longer subliminal. :lunapic 130165696578242 5: I suppose that could be construed as an oxymoron :scratch: :sad:

                    Thank you KFF. I quite like this plant as it self-seeded itself and the other one has been out all winter..

                        I think it must be time for bed..... I just looked quickly at your photo and could have sworn the one on the left was a little green alien with a white shirt on.

                            Looking good! :dbgrtmb:

                            Here's mine (just not as good in the photography department as yours). First flower yesterday, second one today and the promise of three more to open.
