That's cool Jim. I covered the important beds with burlap tuesday
evening to protect them. Juno Aucheri Sky Blue opened under cover.
Bucharica Baldschaun Yellow was hit hard by the 10f. 2 weeks ago
and I'm not sure it will recover enough leaf growth to
make food.
I have seedlings up from forced germination of Acutiloba,
Elegantissima, Atropurpurea, Paradoxa Atrata, Urmiensis,
and Kirkwoodii Calcarea. Now to "keep" them alive!
