-30C.....do you go out at all??? I bet all your plants are frozen now. My house temp in the evenings with the wood burner going is 30C!!! Should mention this to my friend who want to visit Alaska...."do not go there during the winter months" ;o)

Meanie this is a new cutting. The flower head is about 3/4 of an inch. The plant itself is small but really bushy.

My Mandevilla's seed pod has finally opened!!! I'm going to have Mandevilla babies. ;o)))

We go out like normal Alex. Work shopping, all that. The plants are frozen but under a good snow as well as my mulch this year, so they should be safe. he cold is only one trial they face in an Alaska garden.

Most visitors will visit the coast and they have a more temperate climate, snow only for 3-4 months with spells above freezing. Just here in the interior and further norht is it cold like this.
