Yeah - one of my plants has loads of flowers on it. I'm not sure which variety it is, but I do have some Cambridge ones, so it could be that.

I got mine delivered around Oct and planted them - they are now showing new growth but no flowers, however my brother in law gave me half a dozen he bought from Aldi which had a flower or two on them. I suspect they have been brought on in a greenhouse rather than outside - so I think I will need to harden them off before putting them out.

Sounds a good idea - harden off first.  ;)
