Hi everyone,
From about 6-10 am this morning it was sunny..... but since then we've had what most of us have experienced for the majority of June. However, clearly encouraged by the wee bit of sunshine that was going a couple of my plants decided to push up the flowers that they had been holding for a few days (weeks?).
I hope these are worth posting..

Last but not least my old friend, who has been with me for around 25 years.... Gymno. saglionis, who is in a 6 inch pot. There were a few years when she did not get the attention she deserved, but she is still going strong, and flowers every year.

Re: A gap in the weather
Ah yes, the Anhalonium, which seems to be the name that all the sellers are using at the moment,,,, it came from a German E-bay seller, who, after I'd bought one plant a Turb I think) on the e-bay market, then sent me a long list of things that he had for sale.... very nice plants and vey cheap as it happened, so I ended up extremely happy!

Hehe, don't forget that they are Really Rare as well! 
Jez, I bet they were just bursting to flower as soon as they saw a bit of sun. Your old gal is a whopper!

Hi Jez
