Three achimenes currently in flower. The A. erecta 'tiny red' was grown from seed originally and survived a complete fungal collapse as a few leaf cuttings, only to now end up as a volunteer in other pots

A selectionof Kohlerias currently in bloom. Potting media not consistent; some in succulent/'bonsai' compost, some in houseplant compost with extra perlite. They really so not seem to care much.
