Wait until March. Some of those plants appear to have some green at the base. They may come back after cutting off dead parts in March. Many of the plants we grow here in The Villages are not dependably hardy such as tropical hibiscus, cardboard palms, Thai plants, crotons, etc.. I was on a bike ride recently, out in the country near here, and saw a number of good sized Bismarck palms turned all brown. They are rated for zone 10. We are 9A which is even colder than 9B (Orlando) so if a real cold winter shows up many plants that are marginally hardy here will die. We have been lucky these past few years.
