My greenhouse this morning

[Ernie]

Up here in the North East we have escaped the worst in fact we have seen very little. Tuesday night was very cold with the outside temperature in my garden reaching minus 5. Melocactus tucked up in our bedroom while its so cold.

Not the first time this Aloe striatula has seen snow.
Another of the high altitude Drakensburg species.

Once the snow goes it will be interesting to see how they respond.

Unlike my striatula in the back garden which is facing the full brunt of the weather. Last year it was badly marked after the February cold snap and I cut it right back to the ground, that's just one season's growth, the plant is about 1m across. Just visible (centre of pic) is an Echinopsis enjoying the shelter from the elements:

In the trough are 4 Aloe aristata completely covered in snow, be interesting to see what they make of it all:
