Boug, Brug, Guz etc. today

When the weather outside is like this.


Some plants like to be inside so I'm glad I have the conservatory which I keep at 62F (17C).




Bougainvillea starting to bloom again



Guzmania starting to bloom



This guy has grown from a little snapped off piece I picked up in the Homebase car park.



Close up of flowers.



And the Brugmansia and clitoria seeds are breaking through at different speeds.

 

Guzmania - is that what it's called!

Nice pics - and soo tidy everywhere!

 

Blimey, you aint arf go a tidy conservatory.
Mines all cluttered up with all sorts of stuff, it does definately keep the interest going through the winter though.

 

Hi, my 3 small bougainvilleas are in frost free [just] greenhouse. They look OK so far. Do you think I should bring them in?
What a lovely array of plants!

 

I bought the bougainvillea this year in France, it has grown and flowered well.

I had a choice to put it in the conservatory or unheated, but bubblewrapped greenhouse and chose the conservatory.

In the greenhouse I would expect it to lose its leaves and go to sleep for the winter...I think.
