That will be only two nights below zero, which is very unusual for us. But it's harder to take in February than in January. ;-)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-1499443949542990102020-02-15T20:52:50.361-06:002020-02-15T20:52:50.361-06:00Boo is right!

Like you, by February, I'm ready for winter to move on out. My hellebores are blooming, and I started working in my beds on a good day. Then, that cold came here too.

They did include Bromeliads and other companion tropical plants in the display, so it seemed authentic.
