Pachystachys lutea - Golden Candles

How "cold"?

Well, the day temps are only 66ºF/19ºC and the last 4 early mornings have been almost unbearable with lows of 43ºF/6ºC. BRRRR!!!! Tonight it's finally warmed up to about normal...the normal low should be around 53ºF/12ºC. this time of year.

My heart bleeds!!

I've been basking in daytime temps of about 5°c with balmy nights of -1°c!

Meanie:

You're such a smart a**!!! lol!

Well, your temps are very COLD!!

I'm so glad, today the temp is already 65°F/18°C at 9:00 a.m. so it should be a very nice comfortable day of about 73°F/23°C., which is close to the normal high. :>))

Homebird:

Thanks! :>)

Lol...

My best boast at the moment is that my Sollya heterophylla are still flowering despite the cool weather!

Meanie:

Didn't know Sollya heterophylla could grow there. It's very common here.

You're not having cool weather, you're having cold weather! lol! :>)

It's one of my favourite plants!

To coin a phrase - I've posted many photos in the past!!

Now that you mention it...I do remember your photos. I just didn't remember them growing in the ground.

They are growing in pots - just being toughened up a bit!!

They came through last winter ok in the garage. I'm intending to put one in the ground next year after the move - I have a nice sheltered spot lined up for it......

Meanie:

So, it does grow in the ground there?
