It's never happened before... at least not in Islip since records began in 1963... 70F in February! I feel like I'm still living in South Carolina, or perhaps even Florida. This afternoon was legitimately warm. I sent my tropical plants outside for air and some rain.
 |
| Trachycarpus and potted camellias hanging out with potted tropicals. |
 |
| Greenhouse azaleas from trader joes. These are frost sensitive. |
 |
| The Owari Mandarin is looking great but my lemon tree is rough! Both in the garage over the winter. |
 |
| Love this Nicholas Diamond fern! |
 |
| Chamadorea Microspadix is somehow able to handle down to 20F and still looks SO tropical! |
 |
| Indoors, the longer days are forcing the banana plant to send a new leaf (see the top right!) |
At my parents house, the sedum (Stonecrop) plants are returning!
 |
| Bottle palm is getting air. SHE IS HEAVY! |
 |
| Sedum sprouting. Amazing! |
 |
| At my parents house! |
 |
| Loving Cordyline "Pink Diamond". It's much better indoors than other ti plants. |
Spring bulbs are eager to sprout! On my walk around town this afternoon I saw crocus, snowdrops, daffodils, and even forsynthia all in bloom.
 |
| Daffodils are on their way up! |
Although the tropical plants will go back inside tomorrow night, extreme cold just isnt in the forecast yet. It's quite amazing!
