We had a pleasant spring but then a long cool and wet summer. The opposite of last year. 2 oxalis of mine, which are grown in pots in an unheated greenhouse, Oxalis enneaphylla "Sheffield Swan" and Oxalis "Ute", an enneaphylla cross, which are normally for me reliable summer growers and flowering well, sulked all summer with few or no leaves, but are now in full flower, at the same time as O. lobata is outside. They stand on a sand bench with other plants, so when sulking probably got too much water at times and maybe too little at others as I was trying to make them wake up. A dark form of O. laciniata has not really got going at all this year. Brian Whyer, Buckinghamshire , England
