Amaryllis/Hippeastrum

Please Be Careful Everyone ;)

13 years ago

Hi Guys,

I know the weather here is absolutely awful with an inch of ice covering everything and severe weather around the corner; accumulation could be 14 or plus inches of snow and 60 MPH winds.

I'm not sure what it's like in your neck of the woods but everyone PLEASE be safe ;) Cuddle up with family, pets and your hippies!

Good luck on keeping warm with those hippies, Josh! NOt fit out for man, beast or flower!

NO storm here but I think we have an inversion since I work up wheezing today and all my joints feel like they need grease!

Hardiness testing in progress :O
This morning my garden was 22F with 20-30mph wind.
Some H. 'johnsonii' will no doubt survive without protection. Perhaps some H. papilio survival.
Patio @ 28F, Greenhouse @ 40F. Greenhouse is all electric. There are rolling blackouts. I may be SOL

One trick I heard about from orchid growers if you lose heat for a greenhouse get out your gas grill and fire her up! Flowers may be affected but plants will survive and sometimes that's what it's all about.
