Jo Ann - hurray for you on your snowdrops. I only have the snowflakes - may get some snowdrops next year.
Here is a better photo of the Bilbergia - I got an iPhone from my kids for Christmas and the photo quality is so much better than my digital camera.
I was thinning out the patch of Bilbergia a few years ago (it may be the time I did the trade with you, Jmorth) and decided to stick some temporarily in a pot. Well, the pot plantings really took off and is better looking that the patch I left in the ground. It is in a large black pot, and with the warmer pot environment and getting a little more sun, it blooms 2 weeks earlier.
