Re: OT: Oak Leaves

Thanks, Connie. After I posted that I tried Google again, and came up with 
this interesting article from Tennessee that talks about lots of different 
plants including irises and my sad looking hostas. It just came out on 
Saturday.

I typed in "oak leaves recover from spring freeze." That seemed to cover it.
