Re: Cracker
Fab plant. Two alpine nurseries had it for sale at the Kendal AGS show on Saturday, which was nice to see. Though I hope nobody bought plants hoping to show them in future as it resolutely will not open its flowers until afternoon - long after judging!

With the sun it reached 12C this lunchtime even though fully open. It was very pleasant.
