Default PLANT and FLOWERS?

The frost has taken a toll. How much will it cost?

Cost whom? In what geographic area? Over what period of time?

Are you afraid your rent will be increased?

If you have the plants put in by the builder, they will come back. They are from here and that is why they were chosen. Don't be yanking things out and replacing them, give them awhile to come back.

Nature is amazingly resilient. Do not cut back on bushes or trees till it is much warmer. Even some flowers you have planted in the ground may come back.

I noticed the Begonias in front of Colony Cottage Rec Center have died. They are dead as door nails. I've never seen any flowers dead anywhere in The Villages before. This is a first since we have been here in the winter months for the past eight years.

Begonias would be gone up north with the very first frost. I assume Begonias here in Florida do not come back either when they have been exposed to frost. They are annuals.
