Evan, yes it is sad to lose so many plants but I guess nothing lasts forever. I lost many bulbs I had been growing in greenhouses for years too, Arisaema, Eucomis, and a lot of Crinums I had grown from seed, some were an unknown species from Africa but I got the seeds from a grower in Australia. I had several different Crinums I kept in greenhouses which were hardy there until last winter, although the more tender ones I bring inside over winter so they survived. Heartbreaking to say the least! I also had many Gladioulus species which I grew from seed from South Africa, lost the lot!
You should have seen the pile of dead stuff I had for burning, it would have filled one of those huge containers they use at recycle centres!
