0 2008-12-24T16:36:00Z false The weather had been freezing till this week when it suddenly turned mild.Everyone is disappointed-another Christ mas with no snow.Except me ,I hate it!I guess I must be a fair weather gardener.I have been out tidying though,cutting down the verbena bonsariensis before it seeds itself all over.Indoors the orchids and streptocarpus are the best things,not a sniff of a bud on the christmas cactus! I am sure it must be an easter cactus really.The amazon lilies I brought indoors after discovering they don't die down in winter[since Colombia doesn't have a winter!]are suddenly growing new leaves,much to my amazement.Will they flowerthis spring,I wonder?According to my R.H.S. encyclopedia they flower in sept or oct.It will be interesting to see what happens. 1 false 4 38262 false false false Entry 3565 Garden 2008-12-24T00:00:00Z DMY 39296 Public 2008-12-24T16:36:03Z 3406 Cloudy 8 C
