I am still up north, coming down in 2 weeks. Put in our first palm - a Queen - last April. We swung by The Villages for a few hours in mid January, before the worst of all the freezes, I think. The Villages in general looked the worst we have seen it - all brown grass, even the golf courses, except for the greens, and lots of brown, frost-damaged plants.

I've not really seen any postings about how things recovered. Our large bougainvillea was all brown in January, and the hibiscus plants (those have been there longer and recovered after severely cutting back the previous year). Don't know if the queen palm has come back. Are things looking good again in The Villages? Anyone's bougainvillea recovered? I'm not all that concerned about the hibiscus as they are not expensive, but hope the palm and the bougainvillea made it.
