Wish mine looked that good! We've had 4 nites in the upper 20's so far this season, and several more that "frosted", so except for the petunias, the annuals are gone. It hasn't hurt the iris bloom stalks, or new foliage, tho. Seems to take a sustained "cold soak" of upper 20's for 24-36 hr's to really stop them. I'll get some pics later, when it 's a little warmer out(supposed to stay pretty cool ,tho, 50 is all). I've been pulling old leaves, and the beds are looking better, but I've a long way to go! Been watching 2 rebloomers, one should open today....Arlyn
