Uli Although the Gulf Stream keeps us "warm" here in the UK I sometimes forget in the southern UK my latitude is a shade north of Calgary in Canada, with similar winter light levels. I don't have the space to create an internal heated frame within my frost free greenhouse so I guess its the south facing kitchen window cill as soon as spring gets going next year. My plant looks close to the first Kohleria down this page http://piratesplayground.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_a… I managed to get Sinningia tubiflora flowering reasonably this year starting in the greenhouse then outside from about June onwards, though it is not the neatest of plants to grow in a pot. Too vigorous. Brian Whyer, Buckinghamshire, England, zone ~8
