Finally flowering!

Claire Cockcroft:
Congratulations!  The plant looks very healthy and happy.  Well done.

Kudos to you Michael. That one is a real challenge. For me it was in a trough and born with aphids I swear.  I had a screen teepee over it and would pick off the aphids with a needle dipped in Tanglefoot twice a day.  I grew weary of the routine and so did it.

I will pollinate them, and hopefully will have seed to donate for the seed exchange. Calceolaria uniflora is also very strong this year, but up to now no flower buds appear. In Germany it is quite cold this year, this Calceolaria species seem to enjoy the "bad" weather.

michael z:
Now in full flower.
