AS you all saw earlier this year..the Jade plant floered for the first time..still has flowers tho getting past it now. Been so lovely.
His Geranium(?) has flowered for the first time too it looks wonderful. Must be my green thumbs lol
I bought this Campanula to plant by Mum’s grave for Mother’s day, but unfortunately found it was an indoor plant. Anyone know if I could just put it outside? Or would it die. Anyway Dad is enjoying it in the living room for now.

Never seen a jade plant flower. You're obviously doing something right.
The second is, I think, a type of begonia and I've never seen it flower, either. Green fingers at work here!

Ah a begonia..I wasnt sure..Dad calls it a geranium..lol..he doesnt know much about plants really.
I just water them when I go up there every week , and talk to them of course! :)

Yes Pixi I think the Campanula will be oK outside..It is just a double form.. :)

My money plant is over 25yrs old and has never flowered, in fact I didn`t know they ever did, your dads is gorgeous, the begonia is very attractive as well..
I have the campanula growing outside in my patio walls, it was bought last year in a special pot for Mothering Sunday and I popped it in the ground in the autumn its come through the winter ok...

The plants obviously enjoy being with your dad Pix, I threw my money plant out a couple of years back after having it for about 30 years and never saw a flower on it only dust.

Aw what a shame Stroller..you just never know! Dad has had that for about 25 maybe 30 yrs!! Takes it's time eh? :)

As already stated, the 'geranium' is a begonia, and the Campanula is quite hardy.
Lovely plants, all three :o)
