long-blooming Nerine undulata

I find it amazing that Nerine undulata blooms for such a long time.
It began well before Christmas and has two buds still to open. The
first flower has formed seeds, but even so, each flower remains in
good condition for a long time.

Last year I noted that it was in bloom for December, January and
February, but I don't think it was for the whole of each of those
months.

Next year I will try to remember to make a note of the actual day it
opens its first flower, as I'm curious as to how long it flowers.

It is in a small pot in my unheated greenhouse which usually maintains
the same temperature as outside but doesn't freeze. So it is usually
about 5C all winter. (about 40F).
