It has been very cold here, well colder than usual. our plants took quite a hit about a month ago. Wind chill was well into the lower 20's and it lasted for several days which is really unusual. just about all plants took a hit, except for some native plants which surprised me. most of plants here are native, but plumbago and coffee did not even drop leaves!!!
I am waiting for my first chrysalis to open, he or she is sitting on my porch and I am watching!!!
I have twenty eight gulf frit babies and some have chrysalised. I can't just let them freeze to death, so I take them in and care for them....
Milkweed are getting leaves and jasmine is blooming.
