It went down to 19 here, the next night 25.
It wacked a lot of Camellia buds, but other than that I don't think there was much damage to my plants.
The biggest surpise here was my butterfly bushes. They lost most of their leaves with the first frosts in December. Then started a lot of new growth that has made it through light frosts most every night since. I thought they would for sure call it quits this time but didn't.
They act like nothing happened. I had no idea they where this hardy. The photo was taken yesterday.
