Wow
I have never been so grateful for a frozen winter until now!
Here is my worst looking casualty:
losta dead crispy leaves to clean up and rosettes to spread around, but really it's okay--no rot.
Interestingly, this one is not in a particularly well draining soil and it was covered with overburden of leaves and snow-smashed dying neighbor plants and buried under pretty deep snow all winter on top of the overburden. We got a big dump early and it never melted much and then we just kept getting more.
Here is one of my ciliosums
it is actually planted in this fairly shallow geode and it has no drain hole--the rock was tipped so that it sloped to drain down this crack you see in front there, but the rock fell backward at some point. It is looking a little rough here, after all the snow melt and I had just removed the leaf mess to see it for the first time. It has dried out now and is looking better but I don't have another pic.
I do have a difficult time in the summer (with wicked hot and sun and no water if that helps any one to feel any better)
