I think in 26 years of growing CP's this current winter has been the worse and longest! Lost more plants particulary Neps & Heli this time around than any other period. And whats depressing is that these losses include many tough as old boot plants. A fair few EP hybrids and today found my big old H. Tequila had croaked as well! And with the cold weather continuing untill at least mid/late April will be finding other dead/dieing plants.
I think that with a number of poor summers and (for the UK) much colder and longer winters the plants just are not getting a long enough good growing period to see them through any winter. It started off badly when my 14 year old N. villosa died in August last year along with a big N. rajah. That was a bad oman for things to come!
Roll on summer (please!!)
