That sucks, have you ever seen a snow flower? You can also use the cooling period to germinate acorns
Any Bonsai tree Keepers?

Not the I recall, don't think I have heard of them before unless its something I maybe have seen but didn't know what it was. I'll have to google it and see.
Lol, these aren't mine, the apartment isn't big on me planting things, so I took some pics out near my great grandmothers place, I thought these would be great for a desert scape or rock garden, and could give people ideas, many people don't know how diverse cacti and other similar plants are
Brought all the tropicals inside for the winter the other day and figured I would share a pic of the forest now that the new leaves have popped back out after a defoliated it a couple months ago. I really like the way this one is coming along now.
I like it too but I thought that defoliating caused the leaves to grow back much smaller?
It does, but it takes a few times to reach the smallest size. I believe it is 4 times if I'm not mistaken. The first time you do it they reduce by about 20%, then the next couple times they reduce again. Then about the fourth time they come back full size and you start all over. I'll reduce the 2nd time probably next spring and they should come back about 20% smaller again then they are now.
Ah,I wasn't aware that a cycle type of process was involved. I hadn't come across that in my limited reading on the subject.
Changing of the seasons in the bonsai garden. Gonna have to put these guys into the shed any day now so they can go dormant for the winter.
