The end result being that most tropicals happily live and bloom through temps much lower than what recommended.

Just last month I was happily picking hordes of gardenia flowers in 30* weather.
My neighbor keeps her phals out year round...
I guess I'm more worried about the light levels, and the fact that we have very wry winters.

It's not a very good shubunkin. But it's calico is colouring which means it's no longer a comet but a shubunkin.

My fiance bought me a ryukin. Actually I suspect it's just an immature oranda.

He noticed the goldfish and showed up with it the next day.
I hope it doesn't get bullied.
It's cute.
It's mainly white with some red spots.
But the red is mixed with black so the end result is dark burgundy spots.
I'm worried about its form though.
Oh well...

That does indeed sound like a lovely shubunkin, any pictures?

I'm sure that there are quite a few catts that would do well in those conditions. I have seen catts growing in Florida, and there they sometimes get frost. Sometimes plants can surprise you. There are quite a few tropicals and semi tropicals growing here. I put my Norfolk Island pine out for the winter and it looks fine. Maybe I'll stick it in the groud. Kiwis grow well in some areas.
Sorry, no photos of the shubunkin. It was sometime ago I had that one. I had to sell it when we moved.
