Just a few pics this morning of my broms in the greenhouse. Looking good after all the cold weather.
Lots of pups to come off the mums soon.
I had to laugh at your comment, Nev, re Hannibal.
I like him even if he does bite. Well named brom , that one.
As you see from my lot, I do like the striped & spotted ones. but seem to have accumulated a lot of green.
Of course some do change to lovely shades, but I am gradually weeding out the plain green ones.

Nev, you can see Hannibal in the front in pic 1.
I originally bought a small pup which grew very quickly to produce this pup which now has its own pup
I sold the original plant as it was getting very large and tended to bite the hand that fed it.
Much as I like him , he may have to go too, as he is a plant that does seem to grow very large quite quickly.
Can be dangerous getting around him in the confines of the greenhouse.

I am pleased with the color on my Hallelujahs in pic 4.
I had them all in the back shadehouse where they went greenish . Now back in lots of light they are lovely.
Most of the ones on the floor are new , so not very bright at the moment.

Jean.
