Sorry about the bad pic but worth mentioning that this plant has been outdoors (protected from rain) for 2 years. Last winter it experienced 2 days of 0C 3 days of 1C and weeks of 3 to 5C. Yet here it is flowering happily this summer! Even though this species begins growth in the Autumn!

 
Beautiful ! It is exactly 6 months of difference between the flowering here in Belgium and Australia.
 
This is a favourite of mine If I had not got purpuarta then I'd have this one but cant have both.
