Yes for me too, and P gracilis, rotundiflora & cv crystal buds developing quickly. Tatter, I keep mine in a greenhouse with minimum temps around 7-8C, is your cold gh frost free? Just wondered as I've never let my Mexican Pings get below zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 cheers Jim, that sounds good, I could probably do something similar then drop the temp in my small gh by a couple of degrees or so, always looking for ways to save on electricity usage.

tatter Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Gaz Don't blame me if goes wrong though as so many factors are outside control like aspect of greenhouse and location in country and prevailing winds etc.I can only state what is my experience in my location Reagrds Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) I have a 30% survival rate after two days of -3C as an experiment, so anything above freezing should be fine. Edited December 19, 2016 by manders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolichos Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Not unusual, many flower in winter growth. My laueana has been flowering regularly and has another bud appearing. I've also had blooms on agnata, "Köhres" and moranensis varieties. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
