Approaching the winter solstice

The terrace is now exposed for most of the day now as the sun sits much lower in the southern sky. This late time of year brings cooler, drier days.
My begonias are thriving in this less stressful environment, though the application of some kicker fertilizer applied a week or two back is probably helping them along as well.

I've placed the night blooming cereus (hylocereus undatus) in pots around the terrace. They are turning out to be great climbers. Creeping fig is also coming up and should soften the walls nicely (though slowly).
