The purple drops bloom weeks before the coral drops, finishing as the coral ones start.

Calostemma purpurea. Forget everything you have read that this needs a dry summer. It gets copious amounts of water in sandy soil. The leaves die down in July and by mid August it is in bloom as soon as it rains.

Fabulous images Rimmer. What a good idea to grow L. catesbaei with pitcher plants - I only have small stuff with mine. Do you sow seed direct into the pots?

I must give Gentiana paradoxa another try. The flowers are stunning.
