Dear All, It may be of minor interest, but I cannot resist to share the following experience with you: Now that we are back again to normal temperatures, it is interesting to note which species have suffered leaf damage, after one week of snow with temperatures varying from 0 to -3°C (32- 25°F) The leaves of the followwing species were serverely damaged: Chasmanthe( but will surely flower this sping), Nerine sarniense(even the bulbs suffer), Amarcrinum, Crinum Moorei, Dahlia imperialis Only slight damage: Agapanthes praecox orientalis, Amaryllis belladonna, Nerine bowdenii 'Pink Triumf' (Haemanthus, Ferraria, Lachenalia etc had protection with acryl tissue and were not damaged) Kind regards -- Lauw de Jager BULB'ARGENCE, 30300 Fourques, France Site: http://www.bulbargence.com/
