The gardens are giving it a shot, the weather isn't helping much though

The magnolia valiantly bloomed before we had
another night of ridiculously low temps here in
western PA.
The magnolia was in full bloom before I took a
quick break and drove our new Saturn Sky to
Virginia Beach to catch up with my folks and my
son who had spent 5 days on vacation there before
I could join them.
The cold weather tonight will likely do in the remaining blossoms on the tree. It's a shame, the fragrance is absolutely amazing. I would have loved to have it last for at least another week or so. Most of the daffodils and other flowers may survive if it doesn't get too freakishly cold.
I have some native sweetgrass that I need to plant and some boxwood too. I'm hoping the replacement batch of grapes survived the early shipping and will actually leaf out or I'll be back to square one for getting a small grouping of northeastern native grapes growing.
