Flowers at home.

Larisa.

Despite living in the woods (and the country) I haven't had much trouble with rabbits. It seems that every spring there is a rabbit nest with babies in one of the raised beds, but Cee Cee, my dog, makes no future problem with them assured.

The only varmints I've had bother the garden was groundhogs. And here it is, Groundhog Day in the USA. Come to think of it, since I got my dog, the groundhogs (aka woodchucks) haven't been a problem either.

Good girl, Cee Cee. She deserves another treat.

My flowers speak:

Aeschynanthus marmoratus: See our Larisa again somewhere gathered. He took a bag with a heater.

Aeschynanthus speciosus: Oh, I have a bad feeling.

Epiphyllum: Why?

Aeschynanthus speciosus: Because 4 months ago, she left home with this bag.
Epiphyllum: So what?

View attachment 10917
Helxine: She brought you, that's what.

Epiphyllum gets dark. After 3, 5 hours.

Aeschynanthus marmoratus: Our crazy came home. And he brings something.
Aeschynanthus speciosus: Everything is bad. No wonder she looked at the windows.
Helxine: Why?
Aeschynanthus speciosus: Space for the new plant was looking for. What she brought, I wonder?
At this time, Larisa gets out of the bag asparagus.
Aeschynanthus marmoratus: Hey, Epiphyllum, do not be afraid. This is even worse than you.
Aeschynanthus speciosus: He from sale! I see yellow leaves.
Helxine: He will not last till morning! Hey, asparagus, how are you?
Asparagus: Well, do not count on my end.

Gardenia: I think it will throw a Epiphyllum. She put the asparagus in his place.
Epiphyllum: Why me?
Gardenia: Larisa feed you all summer. You do not blossomed.
Epiphyllum: You do not blossomed too.
Gardenia: I'm a smart girl. I increased the bud.

Epiphyllum gets dark.
At this time, Larisa brings nails and a hammer. She hangs on the wall of the new pots for asparagus. All we sighed with relief.

Larisa, have you had good luck getting your epiphyllum to bloom? Is it necessary to give them long dark periods? I've read several articles and tried several things, but my epi's that I've had about 5 years now still have not bloomed and I am getting impatient with them. I'm about to threaten them with the compost pile!

BTW, this thread has been some wonderful eye-candy for these dark winter days. I am enjoying your pics a lot.

@catjac1975 You ask about the climate? Do I understand correctly?
@Nyboy Of course have.
Home problema hares. They are very fond of my garden. They're born, live. Get rid of them is difficult. While I was in garden - they are in the woods. When I leave, they come back. In the spring I treated the little hare's ear. In the summer they grew huge. When I arrived to collect corn, I saw it.

If I see them again in the spring again, I tie the their ears knot on !

Yes. I don't know much about your climate. In the US we have climates ranging from arctic temperatures with short growing seasons, tropical paradise, and all manor of climates in-between. Do you have a long growing season? How cold does it get in winter?

Having a cat or a dog will help with hares. My cats catch and eat rabbits.

@journey11 I also show the plants the trash out the window if they argue with me!
It's simple with Epiphyllum. We must close the pot and pruning. Well if there is a dry and cool winter. I have in the winter the house is very warm. But I have balcony. When in the spring the temperature rises to 41 ° F, I stand all cacti to the balcony. They stand in a cool month, then the temperature rises. There are buds. As I do at autumn. My mom does not do anything. She did not even fertilize! But how nicely it blooms at it every year!

 

[Larisa]

@catjac1975
We have a summer 77 ° F. This temperature is from mid-May to late August. In August, the cold nights and the dew on the grass. In September, the temperature drops to 59 ° F. In November, the snow can fall. Winter to -22 ° F. Snow often begins to melt in April. But now the climate is changing significantly.

Hares- is not rabbits. They are much more. My cat is afraid of their own. Huge hare not always runs away when he sees me. And when he jumps out of the garden to the forest, it seems to me that I hear the trembling earth.

Replace cat with dog. My first dog as a adult was a Russian wolfhound , what a gentle giant!

 

[Smart Red]

Larisa, can you post a photo of your hare? I think I am confusing it with a kangaroo jumping with ground thunder.

Larisa, your seasons sound very similar to mine. We are in a micro climate right here in my very local area, that gets more snow and colder temps than some other members that live in the same zone and not too far away.
I figure I'm at least a week behind the gardeners in town 20 miles away.
