Winners and Losers

Well the Courtyard plantings of 2025 ( https://www.pushingtheborders.com/phpB ... hp?t=1504 ) have now been through their first winter so far I can say the Bougainvilla has not done well although the stems are still green if cut there is no sign of new leaves, faring better the Pandorea jasminoides types are looking fine as is the P pandorana Golden Rain. Buddleja madagascariensis has been really happy as have the various Salvias, Fucshia paniculata is happy as are the Tibuchina urvilleana while Tibouchina heteromala is still thinking about it. Marsdenia is of course happy but I was previously growing it outside without a problem and its relocation was more about ease of propagating!
I moved the Dahlia ten... (forgotten the spelling) it was far too happy!

Been disappointed with Begonia luxurians, although its coning back from below ground its no better than previous attempts to over winter it in the ground outside.

Have put out a pot full of Brugmansia Charles Grimaldi just because I love the scent (not a fan of the actual plant!)
