Well, my idea is that if we have another winter like that, I'm going to start up the gas patio heater :-) Actually, I've been afraid to put any of my plumerias in the ground. But I repotted one into a large pot that will be almost impossible to move. The propane heaters would help and would not need to be turned up much to do a lot of good. The desert garden at Huntington LIbrary had gas heaters all over the place, several encircling the plumerias. They were beautiful though not lots of flowers.

I just hope Barney gets one :-)

Here's a photo from the Japanese garden (unfortunately, it was overcast). The Chinese garden is scheduled to be open in Spring of 2008. The construction fence had viewing cut-outs so we were able to take a peek and see that it is going to be beautiful!
