It is interesting to note the differences in weather even in similar zones and how it's affected plants differently. I should explain that almost all my annuals are in unprotected areas, so when the frost hit, they didn't have shelter from the wind or the house behind them to keep them warm. Microclimates do make a difference!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-24923449217879499222012-10-18T18:36:38.425-05:002012-10-18T18:36:38.425-05:00Wonderful freeze photo - that cone flower makes me...Wonderful freeze photo - that cone flower makes me shiver.

My Hostas have collapsed. I remember that last year they looked like yours for a bit before dying off. But most of my annuals are still thriving. Weird. Maybe it's because they're on the west side of the house, right next to the house, and they bake in the afternoon.

Once it got above freezing, though, and they thawed, the poor things look like seaweed!<br /><br />I had mums in pots come back this year, too, and a couple in the garden, which is unusual for us as well.
