Hi everyone ...lots of interesting things to catch up on.
cestrum's little brug baby was still going when I returned, hubby said we had a little bit of frost already though it is mild here this morning. Pic 1) Pic 2)
The Bengal Tiger has grown so large I had to hack some away just to be able to walk into that section of the garden,a shame since it is covered in buds, how interesting to see the way the different ones respond to the wide range of temps and conditions.
Fernando was wonderful here, but seems to struggle in some other places. He must be a bit choosy about the weather, I see some buds on mine, but the frost will beat them this time, darn it.

I see some minor frost damage on the more exposed branches of some brugs ...Pic 3) poor pale Tenshi.
Looking forward to catching up ...Jean your coldie baby is adorable

That Pepita is nice Shaun, but it does not look much like the pictures I saw of it, probably due to the cold, it will be great to see it in Spring. In fact Spring will be great full stop !

Hi Lucas, nice to see you back, good luck with your coldies, hope to see them as they bloom.

Off to catch up on emails and other stuff, glad to be home.
