Karen, I have the same problems with my crucifix. I don't know which is whic untill they flower, because I planted them as mixed groups. If I'm getting peices to give away, I have to pick them when flowering. Your Epi pic is great. I have a few coming on, and one looks like it might be yellow? Is that from you Chrissy? I suppose it could end up being orange. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Dianne, your Azalea indica has quite large blooms then for a smaller plant. Well done. I used to have Lilac in the garden when I lived in the Blue Mountians, but of course, have never seen it up this way! I know a lady who put quite an advanced plant in and I watched it promptly die! Waste of money trying to grow out of climate plants.
Judy, that oleander is so pink! how many colours do you have? Are you on a large block?
Today I spotted these walking irises flowering and the Aechmea flower is coming from a plant that has been sitting, soiless, in a bucket for 6 months!
