Now these are the beauties John Miller is enjoying in his greenhouse currently!  Alright for some.   ;D  Thanks for showing them John, they are really gorgeous.

Thanks EJ. Not in my greenhouse though! BTW, we have had a few days of heat (even had to turn the fan on) and the Tibouchina flowers are twice that size now. Keep your seedlings in the greenhouse to maximise their flower size?

How unusual Emma.  The first flower makes me think of an old chinese emporor's long fingernails.
