This morning I braved the cold (stop laughing!) and got proof that it actually gets cold here. Really....it was about 28 degrees F. last night. Most of the plants will survive without much damage. We have a lot of evergreen plants in our yard. The iris surprised me by starting to bloom mid-December. I cut the remaining stems and brought them inside to bloom, so they were not victims to the cold.
