Great photos, Igor! Is your kiwi the regular A. deliciosa? If so, -27 C is a very impressive temperature. I was also really surprised that both of my A. deliciosa survived -23 C this winter. The bases were mulched, but even the exposed vines look like they've survived! They're proving to be much hardier than I had previously thought.

Wonderful photos, Igor, thank you.
Felt good just to view those 😀

Gorgeous magnolia, what a nice vivid color.

I had to remove my ivy, was crawling up the concrete foundation, then onto the vinyl siding, leaving horrible "sucker" marks.
Ivy can damage brick so badly it eventually crumbles.
Hope yours is "safer" than that.

Hoping your cooldown won't damage fruit blossoms.

More nice shots Igor. Im interested to know what species of kiwi that is as well. I have both A kolkamitka and A arguta (One is issai, one is arctic beauty). THe issai here died down t the snow, but I still have a foot of vine. The Arguta looks to have suffered little die back at all. A deliciosa is hardy to about -25C, but from what ive read flower buds are killed by -8C or so. They fruit only in Zones 8a and 8b if I remember right. Weird to have such a hardy vine, yet such delicate flowers?

Ive tried Ivy and it dies here. I do plant it in full shade, which is northern exposure. Id assume they can take more sun as long as the roots are cool?

Thanks Cameron, yes, this is some self-fruiting variation of Actinidia deliciosa. Last December was an extremely cold here - the mean temp minus 12C. I didn't mulch it. Hope it will be growing well in my garden.

Thank you, Barb! Since you and Tim made me pics-managerial person I will be posting more pics with my great pleasure!
Yes, this Magnolia variety Susan is gorgeous and it bloom sometimes in August too.
English Ivy was my first BLE plant I started growing. So let's say the Ivy is my longtime lover.

Thanks Jesse! As I confirmed earlier this kiwi plant is a self-fertile A.deliciosa var. Jenny. I had been growing A.kolomikta many years ago but quit since it was the male plant. My A.arguta Issai was frozen down to a snow level last winter but fruited though. After last winter it does not show any cold damage. Hope to get more fruits in October!
I grow several Ivies. English ivy with a few varieties. The most cold hardy "Baltica" doesn't do well (you saw a pic). But it grows creeping on the south faced wall. A variety "California" does much better: . The Irish Ivy (H.hibernica) is grown as a ground cover in my garden. I have three varieties of H.colhica and H.canariensis Gloire de Marengo (ground cover).

great photos/plants Igor!! It's nice to see some growth and color this time of year. 😀

Thanks, Tim! I know what you mean... And Jesse, oh, boy, I feel your pain since you got something like minus 12C and a lot of snow? Some spring colours for you, buddy!

Abies koreana:

Igor, is that one Trachy looking better now?
(the one that was nearest the wall)

Yup, glad you've gotten the hang of posting photos...you have such great pics!

Barb

Thanks, Barb, perhaps it's not me but my old Nikon 😉

That one Trachy looks awful! All leaves and spears except of two leaves pulled. I didn't cut a stem yet 'cos a rainy forecast...

Hope you have the spear covered.

Fingers crossed.
