First flower 2024
It always amazes me that these plants from NW Africa will flower in cold damp and sunless west Wales.
Beautiful to see though. Cheers A little out of focus but not bad for my old iPhone.

Re: First flower 2024
That is indeed beautiful!
My little Nelii has for the last two winters produced a bud, and on both occasions they refused to open and eventually dried up... I guess you must get a better quality of sunshine in West Wales than I do down the road in North Shropshire!

Re: First flower 2024
Hi Eric,
A very beautiful flower, cheers the day. However these plants do not come from NW Africa but from the Little Karoo on the border between Western abd Eastern Cape Province, South Africa as well as parts of the Great Karoo.

Thanks Topsy, just read the label but should have checked. My apologies.
