    Hello everyone, I am so glad to have found your website, I am a plant lover, I mostly look for unusual plants, I have been told I have a jungle in my backyard, which is fine with me, since I am from Nicaragua, it makes me feel kinda like at home. :-D
    Last winter, we had a really bad one, so i lost over 30 plants, and i am in the process of re-collecting most of them, I became depressed after most of them died, due to me being out of town, while it got really, really cold, so this experience helped me to appreciate my plants even more.

    Hi lylly, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas.
    Sorry to hear about the plant loss, I lost a few tropicals last winter too.

    We would love to see some photos of your jungle ;)

    Hello N.O. from Baton Rouge LA. I know what you were felling about the cold. But hang in there some my plants have returned that I thought were goners. Very little pieces have been reemerging all summer.

    Welcome to our forums Lylly. :-D I hope you can manage to replace all the plants that you lost. Let's hope the weather is not too severe this winter and that your new purchases come through in good condition.

    Welcome to the stew, Lylly, from the rather cold coast of western Norway. :D I'd love to see your jungle, since I guess most of your plants are unable to grow here with me. :D

    Hello lylly welcome to our Stew .I'm sorry to hear of your plant loss as I lost about the same amount as I was in Montana when the cold hit so bad and we had snow 3 times last year.
