I don't know how others out there came through the winter.
Almost everything came through the winter with the exception of our
Impatiens Congolensis/nyamensis the variegated is totaly wiped out but
the green form has 2 pieces about 4 inches ling onthe end of a dead
sterm that just might come back. This is the first winter we have ever
had problems with these
The blue flowered Impatiens is growing like a weed and showed no sign
of any problems with the lowered temperature.
All but one of the suculents in the same house came through OK but a
couple of the brugmansia decided they had had enough.

Our Impatiens niamniamensis dropped their leaves one very cold night when
the heating failed to come on but they're recovering nicely now. *Otherwise,
everything else is doing pretty well and has enjoyed the great dollops of
sunshine we've had lately.



On another tack, I have 2 Mimosa which are now around 6 to 7 ft tall,
around 5 years old, pot grown and kept inside but to date no sign of
flowering, what am I doing wrong?

No idea - being too kind? *;-)

I don't know about them needing low temp. as they flower well in Malta
and they dont get temp. down near freezing at all.
