I know that whining about the big freeze has been very much overdone at My Garden Path, so today I declare that I am officially over it.

Clockwise from Top Left - Fig, Firespike, Butterfly Ginger, Papyrus, Crinum, Ice Cream Banana
Many of the plants I thought were never to be seen again have begun to push through the oak leaf mulch. Soon they will back better than ever just as they were last spring.
Clockwise from Top Left Ending in the Middle - Cat's Whisker, Penta, Canna, Tibouchina, Passion Vine, Grand NainxSumatrana Banana, Butterfly Cassia

The list of plants not showing signs of life is very short: a few Hibiscus, Firebush, Pseuderanthemum, Clerodendrum. By the end of March if they haven't woken up they will be replaced with other more cold hardy specimens. The only one I will really miss is the Firebush, so I may get another of those for the hummingbirds.
At last, I'm able to go out into the garden and see life and growth!
