Wishing you well during the cold snap.
Comments (15)Nick, thanks for the good wishes. In the Minneapolis area yesterday about 10 am, it was minus 11F; about 5:30 pm, it was minus 14F. Luckily, this far North, we have all our orchids inside or in a greenhouse from mid- to late October or so, so no back and forth, covering plants, etc. Non-orchid-wise, doing stuff outside can be a hassle, but the roads are always clear, except if we're in the middle of a heavy snow, when it can get slippery. On the other hand... Arkansas ice storms are dangerous. The one time in the last almost 30 years the Twin Cities had an Arkansas-type ice storm, bus service stopped, the Post Office stopped, the U of MN stopped, government offices stopped, plus all businesses - total standstill. People had been giving me grief for being a pansy weather gal from Arkansas. Hah! During the ice storm, I told them THIS is what we get several times a year in the Northern part of Arkansas, AND we have steep hills all over the place, unlike most of the Twin Cities. Their jaws dropped in proper respect, and my cred was *made.* Arkansas pansy no more! I hope you all in the more ambiguous weather zones are making it okay....See MoreHollow stem-planted plumeria
Comments (2)Gladys, I suspect if you dig up the plant you will find rotten roots. The cold, wet period in March probably did it. It was fortunate you took the cutting when you did. I had a plant that was damaged by cold that did the same thing. It looked OK, but wasn't growing/waking in the spring. When I cut it back, the center of the stalk was hollow and brown. The stalk was firm, but it was obvious the center was not alive anymore. Mike...See MoreRoots snapped off while transplanting...
Comments (13)Hi Everyone!! MrFrangi.. I agree! You have done a great job with this lovely shaped tree. We only dream about having a beauty like that in our yards!! Those that are fortunate to plant in the ground are so lucky. We that have to only plant in containers and work for years to have blooms are constantly striving to have trees like you!! Congratulations!! Laura...See MoreCold snap
Comments (3)We saw 34 this morning in Riverside even though the forecast was for 40. I'm so glad I covered things, guess I had a feeling about it. The planting of our new front yard (succulents for the most part,) will wait until next weekend instead of today. The laundry room is becoming the temporary plant sanctuary for the rest of the week....See Moretgiap
