I don't have a single Aylostera species - but I'm going to have to rectify that situation as I like small plants with showy flowers.

The plants in the greenhouse aren't looking at their most photogenic just now. They may look slightly better if I get round to giving them their first watering of the year sometime soon. I've raided the photo archive:
One of the albiflora X heliosa hybrids, probably 'Carnival' (Southfields)

I think this is narvaecensis (or could it be another albiflora X heliosa?)
