Snow joke.

Apologies for the inexcusable pun. This year saw the heaviest snowfall in London for some 18 years. I had just got back from Zimbabwe, it was all quite bizarre. 

Anyway, some of my plants didn't mind the snow at all. Agave americana 'Marginata', Puya caerulea, Chamaerops cerifera and Yucca rostrata.

One or two didn't cope at all well. This is Brahea edulis - a pretty fast grower, so hopefully it will recover.

A few weeks after the snow, and a few plants look surprisingly happy.

Chamaedorea radicalis below.

Schefflera macrophylla - a very handsome plant. I was half expecting this to shrivel up at the first sign of frost, but it seems not!

The biggest surprise is Rhapis multifida. Fingers crossed it doesn't suddenly do a U-turn, it looks happy enough.
