According to the weather forcast for tonight, they are saying thirty degrees. What about the flowers? Okay. If it is a frost, they're safe.
If it is a hard freeze, it's over.

I'm thinking all my flowers will be bowed over by morning. Maybe some of yours will stick around a while longer-I hope so.
Hi Tipper, Flowers are still blooming. 10-19-09
It was 27 on Monday morning at my house in Murphy. Burr....

Hi Sam, Every year I hold my breath, and every year so far, the frost line holds for us here on the northside of the mountain. We know the hard freese will come, and that nothing can stop it, but the frost (thus far) has not hit here.
Nancy,
This photo of the foliage is magnificent! Yes, it sure was cold Sunday night and our flowers are drooping their little heads to the ground. I hope since you live above the frost line, your flowers will last for a long time.
Hi Brenda, Yes, I just went out and took a close look.
The knock Out Roses are still blooming, butterfly bushes, nasturtiums, some Gloriosa Daisies, Chrysanthemums, Geraniums, Impatience. The Confederate Rose is trying to get a bloom or two in
before the freeze.
