The Linaria will flower here as long as the soil is moist. This one is self sown and was brought on by recent rains. We've had other ones flowering all through the winter- even under snow.

It's difficult to know if it is an age thing ;)
It is from a different source and location to my other one.
Having looked at the pic of my other one they do have different leaves and flower- my other one looking more like the planted pictured here http://www.kadel.cz/flora/e/kvCard.asp-Id=6621.htm 
So I suppose there is a chance this isn't actually A.souliei- sorry  ???

I have been spending time photographing Magnolia since my arrival in Nova Scotia in preparation for a speech in the spring during the two week Magnolia Celebration in early May in Annapolis Royal.

The buds are so irresistable....and a sight so rarely seen back in Ontario this late in the season--of still extant seed pods simultaneous with leaf drop and bud formation.

But most endearing of all, is the last photograph---with so much promise of things to come.

Running the risk of 'over-egging' the pudding some more Linaria supina flowering here now.

Unfortunately short isn't an age thing in humans. I haven't grown a cm in 55 years and am still short. :'(

Lesley, I'm sorry to tell you this but:

According to the U.S. national library of medicine:
"People typically lose about 1 cm (0.4 inches) every 10 years after age 40. Height loss is even greater after 70 years old. In total, you may lose 2.5 cm to 7.5 cm (1 to 3 inches) in height as you age."
