Bringing in the vulnerable ones

Over the last week or two we have brought into the house a half-dozen or more cold-sensitive potted plants so they can over-winter without fear of freezing temperatures. That included our big jade bonsai which we've been growing for many years now. That's when we noticed that the jade has quite a few flower buds on it this year. It's not the first time, but I think there are more flowers on it than ever before. It spent the summer out on our front terrace.

The plant itself stands about three feet tall, and the trunk measures three inches across at root-ball level. We keep the plant in the living room for the winter because we don't want to risk taking it upstairs to the loft or downstairs to other parts of the house. It is pretty heavy.
