Well, in my garden, not too many things died. However one loss was my
Marguerites (I forget the latin! ill include that later!). One plant that
surprised me was my Microlepia ferns. They supposedly aren't able to take
temperatures below 28 degrees F, but i still have them (Although, being
under my Juniper tree probably helped!). Also My Blood Orange 'moro' is
still alive. Its even putting out a new shoot. Actrually the leaves didn't
even show signs of frost burn or damage. I also have a Pennesetum Setaceum
'pupurea' that made it (these also supposedly will die in temps like we
had).
A couple of plants were damaged. One was my Jasminum polyanthemum, which
lost a lot of leaves, and a few vines were killed. All of my Dietes
vegetas had severe cold damage to their leaves, and i lost most of the
flowering stems. So i had to cut them back.
But thats about it for me.
