Frosted!

When I returned from a few days away the garden had experienced a severe frost (27 degrees)
 It is 70 degrees this morning and I could go out in the garden to take these photos in my night dress!
The Salvia leucantha (Mexican Bush Sage)
has put on it's winter look. I love this ghostly garment standing tall in the garden.

I try not to cut this down until spring it adds height to the circle & protects the crown of the plant from winter's variations
