You must be a good month ahead of us in the UK. Great to see Eremurus, I think they are so well with succulent plants, but you don't see it that often. I found one trick to get flowers on mine to to put a cloche over them at this stage and ensure they have lots of water. The extra heat gives them that little extra kick.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-37299400311960684472014-03-04T22:30:45.442-08:002014-03-04T22:30:45.442-08:00Hope so!Hope so!Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-55898195554420628202014-03-04T22:09:03.127-08:002014-03-04T22:09:03.127-08:00I've been so distracted by the possibility of ...I've been so distracted by the possibility of spring right around the corner that I accidentally left a brugmansia outside!
