Tricyrtis "Lightning Strike"

Tricyrtis "Lightning Strike" (Tricyrtis hirta (Toad Lily))

This one seems to need a little more warmth, as the buds had stalled until I bought it into the conservatory.........

Not surprised it stalled, it's a tad on the chilly side now.

Thanks all!
Delonix - it dropped to 7c last night. This one seems a little more tender than my others.

That's very different, but I like it. It was worth cosseting it. :-)

Compared to the lows we've had here in San Diego of around 70ºF/21ºC (the last couple of mornings) it seems cold. However, overall it doesn't appear too unusually cold. I wouldn't think it would be cold enough to affect any plants (even the tropical ones).

Me neither, but it was unhappy!

It must a heat-loving plant.

That's the weird thing - they're not.

Another weird thing - I posted the message above that is credited to Iciar!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems to be resolved since I reported it Homebird. It was getting a little weird though...........
