Basil's dead, but I'm surprised it held on as long as it did since I treat all my plants like perennials and basil clearly is not. I'll buy new ones, not a big deal. The impatiens reseed, so I just yanked all the dead ones out and the new ones will come in a couple of months. Hibiscus is borked - I'll trim that back in a couple of weeks and see if there's any life left in it. The "random orange flowers" are re-seeders, I yanked those out last month when last year's batch finally died. Some kind of thing I stuck in a nifty looking planter is pushing back up, we'll see how that does.

Ginger plants - was gone before the freeze, hoping the roots didn't die and they regrow again this year like they did last year. Their flowers are gorgeous. Some weird succulent grassy looking clump with tall yellow flowers that poke out of it did fine, no damage at all, still green. The ground-cover pink flowery clump got freezerburned but is still alive.

I am surprised that all of the small flowers that The Villages plants in the roundabouts and at the intersections survived. They seem quite fragile and they look like they should have died with the freeze but they are still blooming and appear to be going strong.
