Re: CULT: HYB: freeze damage lemonade

Very similar happened here in Raleigh.  I have absolutely no overhanging trees or such around my beds.  Lo Ho Silver was damaged just the same as the others.  I didn't have an extenive amount of buds with color showing.  Only a couple of seedlings of my own, one Arilbred (Desert Pansy! an appropriate name to boot!), and Smoldering Fire opened undamaged.
