Yes, we also say something similar - "two minds with but a single thought"   or  sometimes  "great minds think alike"   ;)

I always thought it was "fools think alike" and "great minds run in the same channel"!

Certainly there is a fuller saying  I know -  "great minds think alike  and fools seldom differ" :-X

Hi Rimmer ,

I have just looked :
My bulbs are sown in 2008 + 2009 ...I do not remember when they flower for the first time

I have also a pot with Massonia spec. Black Mts. Lesotho ( for me M.saniensis ) and another pot with Massonia spec. JJA 15710 Lesotho Sani Pass ( also M.saniensis ) ...they flowering in the second year

Here is one grown from seed sent by Hans. Had to go out with a torch to catch the pesky snail that chewed the leaves.

Anthony at least he /she never chewed the flower off. I finally have some growing from seed. Just wish they wouldn't take so long to grow.

Where would I be without friends sending seeds? Thanks so much Hans. From now on more seed grown plants will flower each year. I just need a bigger garden.
