The Frost Line

"There is no such thing as the 'frost line,' or the line of 'hurtful frosts; ' all frosts are hurtful, but the degree of hurt depends upon the severity of the frost. It is probable that no part of our national domain is absolutely exempt from frost, but for all practicable purposes that part of Florida lying south of a line from Cape Romano to Jupiter Inlet may be regarded as strictly tropical.

I agree with the author's statement regarding "hurtful frosts" although I disagree with the line he created to define "tropical". I think most climatologists would consider Central coastal areas to South Florida as "subtropical" and the Keys as "near tropical". Just my 2cents.

Great pic of the flower! My D. Brazilian has yet to flower... possibly next year if we get a fairly mild winter.
