Re: weather

Probably depends on how cold it got for how long rather than presence or absence of frost. Also probably depends on the cultivar; I think Peter Knop once said he had one that grew outside year-round in Virginia.

I have to say, this year fall is nice welcome to Illinois. The colors
here are absolutley stunning. It's very surreal for me at times
because
this is a totally new experience. Some of these trees look like
they are
on fire.


I got my shop lights hung and all of my plants except the mums moved
into the basement as I expect it to frost any time now. I guess the
fall
color here is better Auralie because after major dry weather for
most of
the summer the month of August was pretty rainy here according to my
sister. When I came to visit in September everything was really green
and pretty. She said it has been brown and dead looking for weeks
prior.


I'm enjoying the cool weather, although it is taking some getting used
to. I'm just glad I have my little basement full of plants so I can go
play with them during the winter!
