Bristol is still miserable, the weather for the new year has been forecast for drenching rain and gales and I do worry that the plants will have to live through another two months of cold and low light before, if they and I are lucky enough, we see some sun. The bulbs outside don't seem to mind too much though and are all ready pushing their way through into the outside light...

I'm Back!
I left the plants for five days... was it five days? I don't know! Anyway, the javanica/multiflora, australis ssp tenuipes and retusa obviously were not amused and all produced a yellow leaf for me, but I think they all pulled through fine. Even the lacunosa tove cuttings which I decided to pot up when I'd had one cider too many seem to have pulled through.

Hi Hilary, happy New year, I'm sure your Hoyas will brave your winter o.k. It always amazes me how well the Swedes grow their plants. They must have very short winter days. I hope things warm up soon for you.
