What are your big freeze casualties?

[snowedinthesticks]

My garden is just beginning to emerge from 2 weeks of snow. We recorded temperatures of -16c on two consecutive days last week and I suspect that may have polished off quite a few shrubs.
Some that are now peeping out of the snow and look dead are;
Bottlebrush,
Pittisporum (my absolute favourite shrub),
Abelia
Ceonothus

Oh, no! Whereabouts are you? -16 sounds pretty damn cold.

I only have a balcony so this is the one time of the year I feel lucky - it doesn't get so cold! I have two olive trees and we wrapped the pots in bubble wrap. They seem fine. I've certainly lost:

The pygmy waterlily that was trying to flower (stupid plant!)
Convolvulus cneorum
Jasmine

I'm not sure if the banksia lutea rose will recover, but I hope so.

Btw, my ceonothus looked terrible last winter after the snow, but it did come back again, and I only had to cut out some dead stems. Might it be worth keeping it, or is it very clearly gone?

I hope you have other lovely things in the garden to keep your spirits up!

Lincolnshire.
I won't give up on any of them until they get a chance to resurrect in spring but the variagated pittisporum looks very bad.

Do give them a chance, I had several shrubs last year which took ages to recover but most of them did and it was very cold here, though not sure we made it down to -16...

I've lots of fushias in pots which were still merrily flowering before the sudden drop in temperature so i hadn't got round to bringing under cover. Will have to wait till spring to see which survived.
Also got a large pyracantha hedge - unfortunately there was so much snow piled on top it now leans over (almost 45Degrees in places)and is too big to pull upright. Am hoping that some severe pruning will help it recover.

My main casualties (so far, still conducting the post-mortem) have been terracotta pots which have shattered. To my amazement, some self-sown sweet peas - which I've never had before - have survived the big freeze.

My poor mallow plant is looking v sad but everything else has survived amazingly well really. Astonished!

So far it has been some of the Rainbow chard but not all of it and it is beginning to grow back. Seeing as I didn't expect it to go though the winter, it's a bonus.

I haven't ventured down the garden much since I started this thread. This week I have discovered a few more casualties. A cordyline ( which I had previously threatened to remove) is now a pile of slime.
It seems to be the evergreens that have suffered most.
Surprisingly the Penstemmons seem to have survived, albeit a bit squashed.
