Mitch, I have blooms on Camellia, and Hydrangea about the size of large marble. I covered them with sheets then placed plastic leaf bag over sheet to keep it dry. This Protects buds from cold wind also.

I am encouraged when I recall the old saying, "Don't fret about Texas weather; in 5 minutes it will change".

Question for Mitch or anyone: I have a 23" pot o Snapdragons. The blooms were frozen. I cut the blooms away. Will my Snapdragon rebloom in the Spring?

I use as a screen saver pics of my Spring 06 flowers in full bloom. This reminds me of better days ahead!

Thank you, nice DG'ers.
