For us here in Central Alabama, the cold front arrived during the night and we will be below freezing for the next 48 hours. It is too soon to assess the damage so I have some photos taken in past 2 days.
We have not had any snow and there is no ice to close the roadways. The power is out in our neighborhood but our generator is functioning so thank God for that blessing.
First is a camellia bud. It is the Sea Foam that I showed you last time. These should have enough protection to be saved for blooming later.

This next is another camellia. This one is Professor Charles Sargent. When it blooms, I will show it to you. It is unusual in color.

This is a succulent that is outdoors in a repurposed bird bath. It is very hardy and I think it will survive the cold.

These are some bearded iris which should also survive. They are a deep blue color and are reliable early March bloomers. They should be protected by the Post Oak and Water Oak leaves.

This next is a Florida anise. It is in partial shade and has done very well for the past several years. It is also hardy and I believe it will survive. The buds are visible and look well protected.

Last, I have a Lenten Rose which will bloom next month. It is shade loving but with the leaves fallen, it is getting enough sunlight to encourage blooming.

Next week, after assessing damage, I will bring you up to date on the garden.
Wishing all my friends on this blog a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Nice poinsettia tree! Your succulent grows here in Wisconsin outdoors, so you should be fine! Lucky to not have icy roads – that is the worst! Snow I can handle.
Well done for getting a six together. I shall start again soon hopefully.
