Bummer.

I know how one can get attached to plants... <sigh>

It's been in the 20's here at night the last couple of nights and I felt
bad for my one remaining Canna. It was blooming for the first time this
year when it froze. I also have to prune back my Lantanas that froze,
and all the wandering jew is flat. :-( That stuff will all come back
tho' in the spring.

Winter is here with a vengeance!
