One of my favourite plants which I now have the pleasure of having grown in my front yard (Adelaide's NE suburbs). After losing a couple in flower during the recent heatwave I planted a few more. Whilst slow to start, since I fed them with Seaweed solution a couple of times in March/April, they have 'gone mad' and become a neighbourhood attraction. It is now early June and they are coming into flower. Can you advise if this is normal as I've never seen them flower in winter? What a great speciman.
