Just another benefit of living on the gulf coast - that and hurricanes
The weather has been weird over most of the country. My hardy bananas (basjoo, etc.) have frozen the outer layers of the p-stems but are still standing tall.

My worry is my spring flowering bulbs. They are all up a couple of inches with freezing temps, that is all day, for days at a time, on the way.

I moved a hundred surprise lilies this summer I fear for their very lives.
