John: I figured with your profile pic that you already would have had washies in ground 😆 I would love to have some 20g filiferas !

Serj: You have a great website! I especially like the Citrus section. What do you use to protect your palms outside? I might try a needle palm in a few years. Your fortunei pic looks great !

Canadianplant: for cacti you should also check out the website of "Beaver Creek Greenhouses" in BC. They have many different kinds at reasonable prices.

Barrie: Thanks, it was a dumb mistake 😳 . I must have researched m. grandifloras 20 times, but was thinking about another plant at the time that I typed that in 😆

Serj,
That Trachy looks fabulous, like you just planted it outside!
Good job.

Barb

Thanks a lot, Barb!

I really love the look of those Bulgarian Trachys!

It looks like somewhere down the line they were blessed with some Waggie blood!

Looking forward to getting some seeds from Kiril this week 😆

jim, thanks for the advice about protecting the seedlings from the rain ! I had to cover everything back up today, because its supposed to rain for the next 2 days, followed by a day of snow, followed by 2 days of -5 C and -7 C 😡

I looked at you weather, i seen the rain... looks like 100 mm or so in the next week :S. But I didnt see the -5C at all, loswet daytime high seemed to be about 0C.... not that much better .... but LOL

We had the same thing here, except we had 2 weeks of warmth, followed by a week of recordbreakin temps...... My fargesia is on its own this week. Itll be fine, even with the small amounts of precipitation were gonna get. It was a really odd winter here :S

WEll Cameron... be glad your getting the rain..... from what I here youve already had quite a problem with forest fires this year... and winter only ended yesterday... Im not sure what the summer entails fer us here. Enviroment CAnada says average summer........ I say dry, and hot.... were probably going to have a big problem with forest fires here :S Not good

Daytime of 2 C, but overnight at -5 C 🙁 . Luckily the forest fires were in the country, so they didn't affect me. However, they came within about 100 m from my uncle's house.

Hows the rain buddy?

thursday morning here... -25C with the wind.. it was onlu-10C before it:S
