I cannot identify this plant. It has been in my garden for several years and did not flower. This year I put in my conservatory which part of the day can get up to 36' C. Suddenly the plant produced a single stem flower. I am not sure of it's origin but it may have come from Madera if that helps. Thanks Del
Thanks guys for all your help. I can now confirm that it resembles a Africanus. The plant has never bloomed in the past. Probadly due to the british weather and it's moist surroundings. This year I brought it inside and placed it in my conservatory and you can see the difference. Do you know if it will bloom again this year as the tiny petals are starting to fade? Thanks Del
flower pot 1,Del. It will not flower again this year. Even now it looks a young plant. Possibly you had a very small plant to start with,that has taken time to grow to flowering size. The common name is African lily, so they thrive in hot sun! We grow them outside.They are slowly spreading, but always a tight clump.They flower best when the roots are restricted. Keep it fairly dry in winter. In Madeira they grow like weeds all over the island. Hope this helps. See RHS site for good advice. http://www.rhs.org.uk/Advice/profiles0901/nf_agapanthus.asp
