          Billbergia nutans is reportedly hardy down to about -5°c if on the drier side. I'll let you know
          how true that is this time next year :heehee: Perfectly hardy in an cool greenhouse.

          @shiney - nice Rehmannia :dbgrtmb:

                My variegated Norway maple (Acer Drumondii) is at its best in spring when the newly emerged foliage catches the late evening sun.

                          She's a beauty, Lori! She must have brought a big smile to your face after your experience of Zone Envy :dbgrtmb:

                          Gorgeous specimen! :thumbsup:
                          I have one, which I bought and planted as a tiny thing last year. Buds are forming but no where near flowering (yet!). At least you've reminded me what it should look like when it does :dbgrtmb:

                          @ARMANDII - loving your blooms. Your aquilegias are ahead of mine. The stems are up, but the flower heads aren't fully developed yet: I check daily :whistle: :heehee:

                              The self-seeded Cerinthe is looking lovely this year, together with Caldendula and Borage.
