it got very damaged... these are supposed to be completely hardy here
Blooming in February
ligustrum "rotundifolia"
Is in a windy site, DHS? Sometimes, microclimate can make a big difference.
And I love those spanish moss on your ligustrum. :-)
yeah, but the night it got damaged, it was perfectly still
hibiscus mutabilis aka confederate rose
Sooo sorry on the frost damage. Spring has sprung in your zone, no doubt! Congrats. Us "northerners" like myself still have a few more weeks to go. lol.

lol! thanks about the moss... its a volunteer. don't worry. spring is a shy little critter
new papyrus
newbie from lowes... she was dying of thirst...
variegated schefflera... it will join it's brother outside... it was on the "save me shelf"
also on the SMS. yucca elephantipes... $2.50
Diehard I think something is wrong with that palm. My neighbor has a few of those and they have no frost damage. I forget the name but those palms don't like water, hope it's not in a spot where water collects.
oops forgot the picture
actually it is in one of the highest spots in our yard... until that one day it was beautiful. it is a washingtonia robusta aka mexican fan palm
at lowes for only 3.95 or something
hoya i think
ardesia... the plumie seedling continues to grow!
one of those little jungle drum things or whatever they're called
I created a new thread for March in case anyone is interested in shooting over there :o)
Thank you Red, this was getting really long, even with DSL.
Diehrd, was that palm newly planted? If it was not really well established it would have been more susceptible to the cold.
well, it was planted last feb, and moved last march, but now the roots should be ok, shouldn't they? we have a smaller one, and it had a thin canopy of pine needles to protect it and it hardly showed any damage
You're right, it should have been established. That was just such a freaky cold spell we had, I have noticed a lot of plants that should have been hardy had browned leaves while some tropicals fared fine. Ma Nature was just doing a number on us.
you know whats funny....some ligustrum got browned leaves. so did the oleander inder the pine tree, while the ones completely exposed were fine
Diehrd: My little filifera looks like your Washi. It's 2 years old. Just too many freezing nights in a row, I think. :(

heading over to the March thread.....

well, i guess i'm gonna get a W. filifera too just to see how it does!
Oh! I mean my w filifera looks just as frost bitten as yours!!. One green frond. The rest brown......
On the other hand, my Eur. Fan Palm/Chaem. Humilis, if memory is working, ....it looks like it never saw a cold moment.
Deb
