Being in the other group of islands in Macronesia, although the north end of it, Scilla madeirensis and other plants from Madeira are easy to grow in the Azores (Echium can get invasive). It rarely gets below 10°C - maybe one or 2 nights in winter, and 27°C is the upper limit although Madeira will get a couple of degrees warmer. I don't hide anything in the shade, so all my dormant bulbs get full sun and rain in the summer months. We are also having a lot of pollutants in the air right now from the fires in Canada.Wylie _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
