Lapeirousia season

Dear Alberto and all,
Glad I didn't know this or I might have worried more.

Of course I grow all of these in pots indoors and well above
freezing temperatures in my cold climate of Kansas City, Missouri. I
use small pots and gave them almost no water from when they go
dormant in early spring until about December. That's about 9 months
of the year. The pots sit on a window sill completely unattended. I
feared they had died, but once I began watering again they started
right into growth.

The intense flower color is certainly jewel-like as the name suggests.

Best Jim W.
