Your gran meant the world to you.. So special of you to have dedicated a song to her. Give your plant the TLC it needs and you will be rewarded with a healthy flowering plant for many years to come.. Xxx

My Dad had these growing in our kitchen window, I have never been successful with them, they last a couple of months and then die (perhaps too much watering)

What a lovely colour and great photography @bernardtjames

wow, i love it!

unique flowers i never seen.

This flower is very unfamiliar to me. This is my first time seeing this. It really looks good.
