Such lovelies, Bree. The picotee edge on that floofy lip of Burdekin Bells is just fabulous.

I also have a nice start of Jim's gorgeous Den. nobile pictured above, and it's done exactly what Melanie's did, sat quietly all winter, put up new growth this spring. But . . it's gonna take years so I honestly couldn't snatch this little nobile fast enough as I walked by the rack at Home Depot today. It practically jumped into my hands!

Naturally, it is stuffed into a pot with no holes at all, drainage or otherwise, and handfuls of sphagnum moss around a tight little 'brick' of solid roots. But . . the roots look healthy, so hopefully it will grow.
