In any event what a festive appropriate gift for you Kath! Monique Quebec Zone 5   Gardenbug  Posted on Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 07:03 am EST :    The rose should be able to grow outside I think but I guess the cyclamen will have to remain indoors...unless your climate is very very very different from mine. Gardenbug Ontario zone 4b/5b   Fbonsailady  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 02:30 pm EST :    A Kalanchoe Monique and the one at the rear I call a 'palmy sort of fern', I don't know the correct name either Yes you're right GB in respect of the rose, it will survive outside. After the cyclamen has finished blooming and the leaves have died down I shall plant it in the garden when all risk of frost has gone. Previous small leaved varieties have survived in the garden and re appeared the following late Autumn. Our winters in this part of the UK rarely go below -5c/23f. Kath Zone 8b UK   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 02:46 pm EST :    That's it Kath! I brought my smallest miniature in..it lost all it's leaves and now is looking good again.It will reside outside come spring..as it is a tad cooler here..

Your sister sure knows how to please you. Arlene Zone 7 Long Island, NY   Euphorbphreak  My Weather My Time Posted on Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 06:48 pm EST :    Nice gift!! All in one, and each a beauty on its own. Bug, there's a number of cyclamen that are hardy in zone 5. Check out Seneca Hills Perennials in upstate New York (http://www.senecahill.com/cyclamen.html). David, the other CA, 9b/17   Fbonsailady  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 12:43 am EST :    Thank you David for that info, will be very useful when I next visit the garden center as most of the labels on cyclamen doesn't state whether they are hardy or not. Kath Zone 8b UK   Kniphofia  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 07:38 am EST :    Isn't it great when you get the perfect gift! The palm is probably neanthe bella. I love the cyclamen, hope you can keep it. Sue Central Maine Zone 4   Pixc  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 10:23 am EST :    That's so pretty Kath! I'm glad I popped in here today. The mini roses are one of the hardiest ones I have in my garden-they look so delicate but come through every time! My Momwho has just the greenest thumb ever, has kept a cyclamen going now for 3 years by letting it have it's dormant rest and then planting it outdoors for the summer in her shade garden. When she brings it indoor it is just loaded with blooms and away it goes again-covered with pink butterfly blooms! I agree with Sue-the little palm is likely Neanthe Bella-one of the best little dwarf palms around; we used to use them a lot when planting up dish gardens for sale. Really pretty arrangement-you have a good sister! (And I have a feeling you deserve such a nice gift ;-) Carol Ont. Canada Z5b   Fbonsailady  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, December 29, 2003 - 03:05 pm EST :    Thank you Sue and Carol, for the name of the palm, make nice little house plants, they are so easy to keep aren't they Kath Zone 8b UK   Susanq  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, December 31, 2003 - 01:28 pm EST :    Such a lovely gift, Kath! Thank you David for the site for Zone 5 cyclamen. SusanQ - Zone 4b-5b Wisconsin
