    Leaves on my trees gave some added protection from the frost. But I was still amazed at what was left this morning.

    Ah yes, those Angel's Trumpets again - Really a very eye-catching tree indeed!!! :D

    How did the Butterfly Pea fare during the frost?

    Just absolutely gorgeous, Donna. You still have a while to enjoy the colour, perhaps.
    I was REALLY surprised about the Imps.

    Butterfly pea seems to be ok so far. I picked some before frost and I am hoping to get some dried on the vine.

    Thanks Sjoerd.

    Still some color over there! I think my garden is finally done for the season. I am waiting for a day without wind and rain to go and check.

    Enjoy it while you have it and thanks for sharing it with all of us. I am missing mine already, but it gives me such a definite "I am done" to pull, toss and clean all of the garden up and be done with it...no piece mealing it now.

    Dang Donna... your frost must not be as cold as mine! :D
    So glad you still have all that color to enjoy... especially those gorgeous trumpets.

    Hi Donna,..sorry about the frost arrival but you still have lots of colour,..its always sad when the main stay of your flowers get zapped by the frost as they gave lots of enjoyment through the season,..still most will return come spring.
