Hello Maren, the Confirmation photograph was taken this morning, the saxicola yesterday. It's been downright cool up in Lincolnshire since mid August, with nights down as low as seven degrees even in the greenhouse, and a chilly wind off the sea keeping day time temperatures well below "norm". I only purchased Confirmation last year but the one bulb has produced two whoppers this year, each with two flowers on, hence my comment about it being a good doer. Even my maculata are producing flowers albeit only just starting to grow, but it was November last year before they flowered. It will be interesting to see when the "normal" pleiones go dormant. Last year many were still green and healthy into December, I doubt that it will be so late this year, unless of course the so-called Indian Summer finally arrives.
