Fire-crackers

20 years ago

Sorry if I have bored with the orchid cactus stuff, but wow, they really "popped" tonight.

This one does have a slight perfume, soft and spicy.

they looked so gorgeous I dragged my poor Mum all the way out to see, but she was pleased.

Pity about the gas bottles, but there you go.

Nothing like a white flower to brighten up the night Alison.
Goes well with the gas bottles, what happens when they get refilled.
Does the plant get broken or what????. A lovely flower worth going outside for.
I hope you got some of that beautiful rain earlier on. Cheers..MM.

Uncle Remiggio wants to know where are the fire crackers ? Wouldn't they get damp in the soil ? We are both confused

The colour of the gas bottle actually sets it off really well.

Very pretty!

Lovely lot of flowers on the plants, very starry.
Gas bottles and fireworks, what a combo.

Tricia, provided they are protected from frosts I can see no reason at all why you couldn't. I had them growing quite successfully in central NSW where the mid-Winter temps constantly dropped to minus 6 degrees for quite some time.
