I live in Malvern, Worcestershire and am a very keen gardener. I started the Patient Gardener Blog in January 2008 as a way of recording what was happening in my garden and connecting with other like-minded people. I started a second blog PatientGardener 365 January 2013 in order to try and post a photo a day to capture what is growing in my garden or places I have visited

Lovely – Is it in flower now? Ours flower in late summer here – a south African bulb I think so likes it in warm position. We are looking forward to a nice sunny day on Christmas Day. Swims, beaches, Pohutukawas – our Red Christmas tree in full bloom! My Waterfall red begonia looking gorgeous and set against Scarlet O’Hara bouganvillia – a blaze of red!!

Hi Yvonne
Yes flowering now but in the greenhouse. It’s one of those tender plants that we crave here which you have in abundance there!
