Griff, Many of us are starved for rebloom, even if it's frozen!  You'll get to see the approximate colors even if the form isn't true!    Inspiration perhaps??
 
My garden saw four consecutive frosts starting on Oct. 13.  Not one bloom has made it through to bloom since.  We've had warm spells that created new stalks.  Some reached 12-14 inches in height, but none have even shown color before another freeze came. 
 
I feel extremely lucky to have had so much summer and early fall bloom. But, being me, I wanted MORE!  It's been good to see the things people have protected in various ways.  But, I'm still just a "teensy" bit jealous!  <vbg>
