Im moment sind es 12 Grad ist nicht wirklich kalt aber hoffentlich kommt der Winter bald.
Sieht aber auch als Weihnachtsgeschenk hübsch aus.
Google Übersetzung :-) sorry mein Englisch nicht gut.
In the moment there are 12 degrees is not really cold, but hopefully the winter is coming soon.
Looks pretty, but also as a Christmas present.

Over here Fall is so sweet that we did not cover our bananatrees yet.
Both beautiful Christmas gifts !

Poor things. They should mail them to Key West wrapped like that, for a proper winter. It's still 25C and no frost (or lichen).

Paula: As ilcuoco said, it hasn't actually been as cold as it should be here at this time of year. Although this evening the temperature dropped quite suddenly.

Claude: Hope your trees will be okay if there's a sudden cold snap.

Conch: According to Wikipedia, lichens grow in some of the most extreme places on the planet. I suspect you have lots in Key West and you just don't know it yet.

I hope someone picked the bananas before the trees were boxed up!
