Pouring up here too, it is supposed to get into the low 40's tonight with 30 mph wind, Brrrr but at least it is not freezing. I am not going to bring anything inside. All the stuff in pots is just loving this rain.

This is one of the purple odontonema spikes this morning, I ran out between storms to get the pic. It has essentially looked like this since the fall, guess I should be appreciative of the color it has provided through the winter.

What are you southeasterners doing about the red firespike? Mine look fine but I think I will chop them back or they will be too big this growing season.

Paula, is your moonlight phil indoors or out at the coast? The phils I have in the ground did really well this year. I had sprayed them with Freeze Pruf back in December and it never got too cold so it worked well.
