John, don't worry about that basjoo, nothing can harm those things, they are tough. If a few leaves brown off it will bounce right back faster than before.

Deb, I would protect that mandevilla but don't worry about the clematis; they are usually much happier in colder climates than ours.

I understand a string of outdoor christmas lights, even just spread out on the ground, will radiate enough heat to protect things. I've not tried this but it sounds reasonable.

Here is one of my passifloras this morning. Pray those buds will still be there after this weekend.
