    It is still mild here 59f 13c and overcast. Mother Nature rewarded me for tidying outside yesterday by dumpng lots of rain in the wee hours. During the day we're going back into the fridge before the weekend and just barely into the freezer at nights now. Wonderful!

    Cordyline Australis: Is this dead?

    That looks very similar to the one my brother has. We had colder than -5c here this year and it suggests burgandy spires can only take a lite frost, so perhaps similar cultivars are the same.
