It (along with the other schomburgkias) must be a fairly adaptable and hardy plant, since the winter night temperatures in my growing area average between 12 and 13 C, and even drop down to 11 C on especially cold nights. None of the schomburgkias appear to be negatively affected by the lower temperatures--even though, apparently, I'm growing them at cooler-than-average temperatures compared to what they experience in their native habitats.
Your plant and blooms are outstanding. Hopefully mine will flower within the next year since it's been putting on a lot of growth over the last nine months.

Yes, Steve, this species is fragrant.
Apparently, your winter condition is similar to mine here. Maybe mine is a little cooler since temps at night during the winter can reach 2ºC for a few hours.
I believe you're not going to have trouble to grow them well!
