Meet Nellie

Tuesday 26th May 2015 (1004)

What a surprise today when I went into the conservatory. I've been waiting for this to open but the buds were still firmly closed yesterday. The sun today has obviously encouraged it to open. I've had Nellie a good few years now but she has never managed to produce buds or grow much. She didn't like her old home but she does like the new one and has climbed right up the trellis. She is currently displaying two lovely flowers. Her brother Henry is also climbing well but no buds yet.
