                Grevillea Cambera Gem has loads of flowers and buds although a few are frosted due to a couple of -4cs.

                  I love the Acacia Strongy. Does it stand up to sea air and windy conditions?

                  That's a lovely cordyline! Mine would be looking like that if the weight of the snow this season hadn't bent all the lower branches. It will be fine, it is very vigorous, just looks a bit sad until the lower bent leaves grow out!

                  If it is going to be below -2c at night, I tie the leaves in as this one is not It is not as hardy as the common Cordyline australis but hardier than C Cha Cha I bought last week., I have a loop of twine at the base to pull up.

                  Yellow Bougainvillea just coming into bloom (one of two).

                  One of my variegated Oleander cuttings, taken last August in Mallorca, finally rooted and is now growing well, the other one has only just rooted after five months and is still in the propagator.

                    One of the few things at this time of year that make it worth going out in the cold for!

                      @strongylodon That's looking quite healthy :blue thumb:.

                      I'm sure that with the expert care you will give it it will do better than we one we sold last year at our Open Day. We let it get too straggly.
