Florida is indeed getting some unusually cold weather!! Normally we might get one or may two "freezes" in Central Florida...we are going on 8 here in Deland. And I don't know how many "hard" frosts. Lots of nights in the upper 30's low 40's. Many things will come back, but some won't. The wild yellow jasmine was still blooming the other day, but looking out the window I don't see any of the little yellow flowers that were there. It's also been very windy. I brought the big pot of impatiens in and a basket of red verbena and a potted milkweed ( on of my original as I don't trust the newer ones don't still have some sort of pesticide on them).
Also got some gatorade and soaked on a cottonball. So here's a picture of the new kid....if she/he hangs in there till the weekend till Saturday I can let it go feeling better about the weather conditions. For now, it's got a room of it's own w/ lots of plants and places to hang out.
