      :rolleyes: Oh, just stop it with your climate envy, lonk! :rolleyes:

      Come on, think about it: :waggy: you know you love a challenge ... and look at the challenges (with your climate) you have risen to and been *successful* with :thumbsup: (say's "M" who failed big time in germinating some thingywotsits I'd rather forget about :wallbanging:).

      Climate envy is just one step away from climate change ;) :whistle: :heehee:

        I could try to grow cool climate plants in a hot climate! Much more agreeable!

              Oh, that would be Urtica Dioica:dunno::whistle::heehee::loll::lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              That's a nice Clematis, Tetters, I hope you didn't get stung by the "lurking Stinging Nettles":hate-shocked:

                  @Verdun - did you bring the Spigelia in for the winter - or is it nice and hardy?

                    Hiya Tetters. No I leave them outside in the ground. Two clumps that were late in growing this year and concerned I had lost them. However one clump now flowering and the other in bud. They are lovely with their yellow hats on....almost comical :yay:

                      Not sure I like it at all :nonofinger: but some rave over it :yay: A marmite plant kept in a pot to move it away if necessary.

                            I like flamboyant. Impulse is good. Coupe de soleil is lovely. Let your hair down, and stop poking your tongue out all the time - or else I'll go off you. :pathd:
