    I don't have Queen of the Night, but I do have some Epiphyllum. Plants often look the worse for wear.

    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    If you think setting your clock/watch is difficult in the Uk/Europe, try driving in Canada. British Columbia has 2 time zones, as have some other provinces.

    Cordyline Australis: Is this dead?
