It is very beautiful Palmate :-)

Thanks! I'm not sure which species it is, though. There's so many hybrids and species available these days.

Mine are only just getting going. This is something to look forward too!

That's great your plants are doing well. They tend to grow very quickly.

They need to - the cold spring meant that they were late starting.

Are you still having very warm weather? The warm weather gets them growing very fast and blooming.

Are we heck - it's freezing! 18°c was the best that I saw today.

Yes, I know what you mean. Most of the U.S. has had well below normal temps for the last couple of weeks. Us San Diegans have been complaining about the cooler than normal weather. The highs inland have only been between: 76 - 84ºF (24 - 29ºC)...this is very unusual for August. We had very hot to extremely hot weather in June and most of July.

I'm not complaining, though...to me, it's been perfect! At least I don't have to run the a/c.
