Hi all,

what can I attempt to salvage from the frost and bring inside and plant or at least feed pieces of to my torts?


1.

2.

3.

4. I believe Shasta Daisies not safe?

5. Forsythia I believe (yellow) safe right?!

6.

7.

8.

9. This one gets dark pink flowers, it's a big bush. the branches you see are part of it, this is just a little sprout on the lower part of it.

Is #2 an Althea or also known as Rose of Sharon bush?

Is #3 a daylily?

anyone else have answers?

#8 looks like variegated boxwood

#7 looks like an azalea, but i'm not sure...something about the leaves looks a little off to me

I don't think #4 is a shasta daisy, but I can't be sure. best to avoid it anyways

sorry, that's all i've got

thanks, yes just needed to be reminded, 7 is azalea.

#8 could be a variegated Euonymus. #7 is azalea. This is hard!
I think that I agree with the day lily and rose of sharon. If you remember seeing flowers on either of these, that would help.

Might help if you scroll through the pics. Sometimes you need the scientific name, if so, just google it.
The other option is to grab some sample branches and take them to your local nursery to help ID.
