Re: In flower today
Great plants and great pics. too. Thanks for showing them Juster. Cheers. What sort of Winter temps do you need for a beautiful Kalanchoe like pumila ?

Re: In flower today
Thanks all for your kind comments. Eric, I keep my greenhouse at a minimum of 5 C, at least in theory, it might get a bit lower on cold nights. I'm not aware that K. pumila is particularly touchy.

Re: In flower today
Thanks Tony. I see that I bought it as a small single head at my first ever National, 1983 at Luton, so it must be about 40 years from seed; older than some of the people on this Forum! I must try to repot it this year, bit of a challenge!

Re: In flower today
Yes, really nice Carmenae, I was selling them at the 1983 National, I'd seen them for the first time at C&Js in California in 1982 and imported a batch for the National. You must have been that young girl that spent all her pocket money on one, I remember it well.
