Marie, I'm growing my adeniums under lights--I have a single 48" long fluorescent fixture with 12 T5 High Output bulbs....this is only 21" wide versus the standard 24" wide w/ 8 T5 bulbs.....so the light is VERY concentrated within my growing area. And, I'm using a 48" x 20" electric seedling mat for heat from below. My adeniums grow like weeds under this light!

Update: it's flowering! Cherry? Pear? Plum? Something entirely, wonderfully different? The flowers look too close together to be medlar (the previous front runner). And mulberry doesn't seem right. But I've not seen either flowering close up, so I could be wrong. I don't *think* it's a dogwood...

tamparookie, Hey, we are neighbors! I am just East of you in Forest Hills. Our forecast has become considerably better than it was this morning. We were supposed to hit 31. Now it's more like 36. I can deal with that. 36 will not damage a lot more plants than 31 will. Also, this area of town seems to escape the worst low temperatures because there are so many lakes around here. I think you'll be fine tonight. Tomorrow may present more problems, as the wind will be greatly diminished, and we will probably get frost. I hardly have any plants that die above freezing. I am shortly going out to water some things, to prevent as much suffering as I can. My veggie crop got a late start this year. And so far, this has been a bad year for a late veggie start. Coldest November in a few years at least. My tomatoes were just starting to really get going. I'll do what I can and call it a night. Natural Selection!!!

Best of luck cindiann! I know how much I love my nesting Blues, and I wish some for everyone. When you speak of your range location, I am assuming that it's Eastern Blues you are referring to. What about Western Bluebirds? I don't have any experience with them since I live in GA, but I believe that they will use nestboxes.
