Death and Destruction...

...thanks to a Florida freeze! This past week we had temperatures below freezing for 3 or 4 days in a row. I realize that the rest of the country was much colder if we were in the low 30s, but this is not temperatures that Florida is used to. In fact, it causes all kinds of problems with our plants, being that we have different plants all over our yards than people up north do. Anyway, here are some pictures of what I hope will come back at some point...

Hibiscus:












Marigolds:




Impatiens (this goofy thing was so hearty and strong, and had been growing since March '08!):




Crown of Thorns:




The only plants that made it through unscathed were the Pansies and the Violas...

Violas:




...for the most part :( (here are a few pansies that didn't really do so well)

OH! They look so sad! :( I hate that... It hardly freezes in Seattle either, but when it does I always have some plants that looks sad for a few months. Hope some of them make it!
