Mind you, still no frost in my garden this winter – I hope end of March isn’t going to throw some silly things at us like snow, the latest I have had snow here is 8th April some years ago, ruined all my camellia flowers. Fingers crossed this will be a frost-free winter, both my camellia and my magnolia are flowering right now :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219483201777307292.post-73847358436462039582014-03-10T20:53:03.393+00:002014-03-10T20:53:03.393+00:00I've got one outside, protected by fleece thro...I've got one outside, protected by fleece through two winters now. It hasn't flowered yet, despite being bigger than the indoor one, and the leaves are a bit wind battered, but it's doing well enough in it's pot. With London's micro climate you might get away with trying one outside in a sheltered spot.Trainer Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777701301974490461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219483201777307292.post-72670422965558860382014-03-08T02:26:35.479+00:002014-03-08T02:26:35.479+00:00Oh, it’s lovely!

In my kitchen I have one small windowsill, and it is crammed full with my orchids. Not sure where I would keep a Strelitzia – they get quite big after a few years I think. Perhaps I’ll invest in a grow light, then I could keep it anywhere…seeing yours, I really want one :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.com
