I have two forms of C. purpurea, one with a yellow cup and one that is fully purple.

I have two year seedlings of Calostemma luteum and I am absolutely EXCITED to see them bloom, I can't wait!  Does anyone else have this plant?

What a pity, they go cycling so fast that we can't look at flowers  ;D   8)

Yes ,that is a problem... but we can see the wonderful scenery and think of the flowers that live in those places.  For us this is half the pleasure of these races... we really enjoy seeing these on TV and guessing what flowers will be growing just out of sight !

Hans it is so good to see that the Calostemma set seed as well.
Looks like the journey did not tire it at all.

I have not never had in flower, more difficult perhaps than C. purpureum, we have temperatures elevated in these days, has helped....
