From seed Amber,?? Hey, well done you, it's a little beauty - how long did it take to flower??

Hahahahaha - pleased that you said that Amber, as I had it twirling around my brain for hours yesterday - I knew that I knew the name but I also knew that I had never grown a Lewisia either.....

Diptamnus - the Burning Bush - had it years and yes you can set it alight, if the heat is right...the last time I did it a couple of years ago a flame shot out...

There is also a white one - nice but not quite so striking as this...

Thanks for the Nom..
