I am pretty well et for the winter. My Basjoo/Canna combination is in the ground, the two Ornatas are in new,
large pots inside by the window. So all is set, except for one thing: The leaves, which I had earmarked to
provide the protective mulch are still on top of the trees and as green as a well kept lawn.

To make things worse, the min. temperature, which had hovered around freezing or barely above it is
forecast to drop to -5^C (23^F) on Sunday morning and stay below freezing until Tuesday.

On the brighter side, I will get some more experience in the cold hardiness of the Basjoo.
