As we all know the last winter did us no favors but slowly some things are coming alive again. My corkscrew seems to be alive but it looks woeful. Some crotons are struggling to come back while others are just fine. I guess it all depends on the variety. Note: one of my bottle palms is now sending up a spike and has survived. Old man palms are dead as a doornail.

gingers are fine and grew all over again. I had cut them all down to the ground.

All my plumeria were frozen and whatever survived after cutting the mushy stuff off will not bloom this year. A few pudicas survived and are blooming.
