Thanks Tony
It’s one of the scraps left over at the end of the auction of Bills plants. Took until last year to flower. If it had timed things better I would have entered it into the Bromley show just for old times sake….he must have been really lucky with timings ( although he did have a few of them to choose from) as he always seemed to have one in flower on the day.

Such flowers can more than make up for the scruffy stems these plants sometimes have! (tu)
