That's amazing, Mike. Here in this little area of Berkeley we got down to 27-28F for two nights already and one more night is expected. Most of the bulbs seem to be doing fine, except for the real broad leafed plants like Massonia. They seem to be a little wilty after a good frosty night but eventually recover in a few weeks. They don't look as good however. Last year from a freeze of similar magnitude I lost some tiny bulbs (Drimia uniflora and Bulbine alveolata) because they were in smaller sized pots. I was particularly sad about the cute little Bulbine. This year I forgot to take the Ledebouria socialis 'Miner' into a protected spot and now the exposed bulbs are like squishy grapes. I think the few hidden ones are alive so I may be able to rescue it. It had grown into a nice clump so it's sad to see it knocked back so hard. Nhu P.S. I also hung Christmas lights; it feels festive now, and I can actually enjoy the festiveness without the stress of the Holidays.
