Patricia, get the darker bougs, they are much more frost tolerant. The light ones I understand do not have a chance. I have had the one in the picture for years and years. It is huge. I planted it in a little piece of empty space and forgot about it. I also planted a Pittosporum-crassifolium. They grew together intertwined over the years, so in the summer I have a huge purple spot and in the winter the green leaves of the Pittosporum-crassifolium cover the dormant boug limbs. I was an inadvertent genius in that plan!!

Brugie, it is turning colder. But we still have had some days in the 70s. It only rains here in the winter so we are starting our rainy season. Our forecast, it sounds like yours Brugie.

Lots of my annuals have stopped flowering but I still have some going. This is a verbena that I took today. It has flowered nonstop since June.
