My goodness, this does seem early.

What a strange season this is....... or do we say this every year?! :-\

I don't seem to do well with the south american Oxalis, except lobata which is a bit different anyway.

Anyone growing them successfully in the greenhouse? I moved all of mine out to troughs where they have hung on but never flowered.

There has been one exception. It's labelled "superstar" but I vaguely remember raising a number of seedlings from superstar and despite spending the last five years on the greenhouse floor it's flowered well.

I repoted it this year and though there are less flowers it is rather lovely.
