As these spend much of their time dewless I thought a couple of pics were in order, whilst they're sparkling   |

Those are very happy, healthy and especially dewy, Corky.  Do you grow these in a cold greenhouse or indoors under lights? dvg |

They've been growing under lights for the winter months and have only been outside for a week,this is probably the best they've looked for me. Still never had them flower and all are the same clone I have grown for a fair few years now, they seem not to like the really hot weeks for me ,I'll update even if they look shabby,

  Well flowers are on the way, a first for me and I have a sneaky feeling they might not make it,so here's some evidence,plants themselves look appalling which seems to happen in summer |

The plants themselves look good Corky.
Do you know if your plants produce viable seed.
Good luck them.

No idea if viable seed will be produced, I had read that it was difficult to get viable seed ,think the stigma aren't ready when pollen is ripe , I will have a go

Looking good Corky.
Noticed that you have growing area screened off.
Have you had issues with the birds or other critters in the past?

I grow some plants in propagators to try and get a bit of extra warmth in the colder parts of the year ,I have always grown my vfts in them but this year they are fully exposed to the elements and are doing well, maybe I should try some dews fully natural

About a month ago you were concerned if the plants were going to survive.
How are the rosettes looking now?

Very nicely done there Corky! Would definitely be interested in the flower diameter measurements. Thanks for sharing. dvg |
