1 Dec 19 • It got down to -5.6C here last night and in parts of the garden it never got above freezing during the day, including this frozen #hesperantha-coccinea-pink-princess ❄️💗❄️💗❄️

It’s amazing isn’t it Natalia. I’m sure it won’t look as good once it has thawed but at the moment it is magical ❄️ @RedFuchsia

Stole the words right out of my mouth, translucent. It's literally translucent. You can see right through it. How often do you see that in nature? A beautiful, rare, sight, preserved in time if only for a moment. 💖💮

Me too. Had admired them in other gardens for years. Finally got round to getting some - I got three different varieties as plug plants last May. Still waiting for the third to flower but they have bulked up really well and ‘Oregon Sunset’ flowered last year @Jasonsparkes1

I got this at Harrogate and it’s been flowering it’s socks off for weeks now. The pink seems more pronounced in yours (must be the soil). I absolutely love it though. Oregon Sunset is finally coming into flower too. They are truly beautiful plants and the colour is so welcome now. 😍😍

Oh I hope it recovers. It’s so pretty. And as for Oregon Sunset, what can I say? I’m sure if you don’t someone will take it off your hands 😉😂@rachelbrooks

They’re great aren’t they? They just don’t look like autumn/winter flowering plants somehow. Though what autumn/winter plants should look like I don’t know 🙄😉😂 @pelly

I know what you mean, they look quite delicate to be flowering at this time of the year. I’ve just read that back and it sounds ridiculous 😂 so you’re right, what should they look like? 🙄🤔👍
