Very nice G.cilicicus Tony, I agree with Brian, the second one has particularly nice markings.

Lots of noses up in the garden and in pots. snogerupii and elwesii Haydn now flowering. I also must look for more autumn flowering and pre Christmas flowering cultivars to extend the season backwards

Quite strange that about half by elwesii Barnes are over, some are perfect and a few have only just come up

Possibly that extra warmth from an array of beeswax candles, you mean?

And well done Emma.
