Beautiful color! I remember the first time my white one bloomed, I didnt know what to expect as I had no idea what it looked like my neighbour just told me they were called angel wings. When they first got buds I waited for them to open but then THAT started to grow something from the bottom & then finally the flower!
Yours look almost like a 'double' flower, esp the one in your hand.

Hi Milky, do you keep your inside at all times.
Both mine are outside,and it's my first year of growing when is the best time to bring them in for the winter, do i need to cut them down in any way.
I will be putting them in a small greenhouse to over winter them.
Thanks for any advice.
Good Luck And Happy Gardeing .

Catweisel...I usually cat mine back as far as I can, Like you would anything else, above a joint, so that its ready to sprout again next season.....Do it about an inch above the joint as the stems are so fat that they sink intio themselves a little, so allow for that. Hope this helps...
