I guess I really lucked up as far as losing any flowers during this terrible cold snap that we had this past week-end. Most of our trees have dead leaves but I think they will revive. The picture above is my tulip tree. I am worried about it and hoping it will come back. My Rose of Sharon trees are looking the same way. From what I have read they will probably come back out but may not bloom this year. I also have alot of wilted daylilys.
I am hoping they will bloom but I have alot of lilys and the little plants didn't wilt. I think it was worth the effort of covering every thing during this cold spell. It took alot of sheets and plastic and alot of time. My yard looked like a bedroom, forgot to take a pic of it. It has warmed up and we are going to get some much needed rain tonight and tomorrow, and then chilly again but not freezing, Thank Goodness!!! I was so lucky to have a sweet hubby who helped me cover them every night and uncover every morning. Alot of folks in our area were not so lucky. Today I was lucky to get a very sweet award from my dear blogger friend Lisa. It is the banner to left called "Bright Light Award" which is over to the left of post. Thanks Lisa, I have never had a blogger award before and I am proud to display it.
I hope every one had a wonderful Easter holiday and have a wonderfully creative week!

A tulip tree I have never heard of or seen! Rose of Sharon!! Our blossom in August in my part of the world! NG from Canada
I'm glad the damage wasn't too bad -- all that covering paid off! I'm still waiting... maybe the tulips will make it if spring ever comes!
We had a cold snap earlier and I lost some agapanthus. At least turning your yard into a "bedroom" helped save some of your plants. I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind this year!! She's been very changeable.
Most trees have a second set of leaves all ready to go in case of a frost and most flowers not in bloom will make it. I bet the lilies do too. We lily types are hardy inspite of being beautiful. Not that I'm a lily, I'm a daffodil and they are silly enough to live through anything, or strong enough, I'm not sure which. It is sad to see after a cold snap isn't it. Hope you don't get one again.
And congrats on your Blogger Award! That is super.
Oh the nasty frost in the Springtime. I agree with Janet that Ms Mother Nature sure is fickle this year!
We were around 32 deg this morning, and I lost one little flower that I dared plant already. Patience Cat, don't plant until May!
Hi to Miss Lady from ole' Blue.
The damage is sad, but not toooooo bad. Hope you are having a good week despite the weather. Yesterday it rained so hard and so long the streets were a bit flooded because under the street was totally filled. Wild.
Bethie...go visit my blog and take the photo challenge! :-)
Not too much damage sweetie...I'm glad! Now...on to Spring!
Oh Bethy, all the new growth has just withered and died, so sad. I can't remember this happening before this far into spring. I guess we just had warmer weather soon than we should have! Grrrr. Miss you gf. Next week??
