Juno nicolai was fully open in the covered frame during the frost period last week. It seems to be completely undamaged.

It's really rather easy to see  why these plants as so fascinating, isn't it? !

Steve - your photos are real crackers! Exceptional quality that show off the sculptural perfection of these beguiling plants brilliantly.  I'll try to load a few more juno images in the next few weeks, but please don't judge the images against yours! Tim

Lovely pictures as usual Steve. Do you grow all your Junos in pots?

Many thanks David.
Yes, all my junos are grown in long-tom pots. The roots are in a VERY gritty mix whilst the base of the bulbs upward is in a coarse pea gravel. I need to do this as I am too heavy-handed with the watering.
