It is beautiful, isn't it? It is top of my 'must add' list - trouble is, I can't decide whether I like the purple form or the white form. The white just looks so pristine!
Nope, I'm not in the North. I'm in the South just above Southampton - maybe 20 miles or so from the coast.
Latitude: 50.8,
Longitude: -1.22.
(Winnipeg is further South than we are here.)
If memory serves me right, the all time record high temperature in England (set in 2003) was 36C in a place just outside of London. Even though it rarely gets 'too' hot here, it also doesn't often get too cold either. We rarely see temperatures where I am drop below freezing for very long. That, combined with all of the moisture we get from the Gulf Stream, is what I think accounts for the Masdies being so happy.
Woe to us if the Gulf Stream shifts, as predicted!
Hope you get your hands on an M. amabilis! do you have room for it in the bottom of your viv?
It is only because of the Gulf Stream that it isn't always very cold.
