Thanks Dutchlady and 3js. Well, if this freezing weather you've had is a once in 100 years phenomenon then you've 100 years before the next one. And when it comes again you'll have had the experience to be able to cope with it better. ;O)

That paeoniifolius will probably flower next wet season. But I've got another 6 that should reach that size next growing season. Just need to organise pots for them. They always do better without competition from other plant roots.

There's quite a lot of bamboo in my garden, some of them getting to 15 or more metres long. They're in amongst trees so are usually supported and try to reach the sunlight. I've got one timber bamboo but it's not growing well. My soil is extremely poor and I put it in the wrong spot. Will move it ... eventually .... when I get time.

Dendrobium affine growing on a Melaleuca in my swamp. Not flowering at the moment, they do that in the dry season.
