How sprightly!  I like the way there are so many flowers, all nicely
arranged on an upright stem.

A couple of things in flower in thee greenhouse. The orchids are just starting as is the cyclamen parviflorum



That's a lovely orchid. Not one I've seen before. Early too.

... and in the greenhouses
a strange sight in mid winter - Silene californica - has been in flower almost non stop since last summer. 
Petrocosmea grandiflora doing very well this year
Narcissus Camoro wonderful green sepals (just had to throw out my second pot of this due to virus, along with a pot of N wilkommii  - so sad, but not worth the risk  :'( )
