This freeze burned firecracker plant (russelia) presents the overlooked stark beauty of a winter in the Coastal South. This plant is already returning from the roots. Click the image to enlarge.

I grow a lot of tropicals here in Northern Florida, most of which return in spring. This firecracker plant returned from last winter's 20 degree freeze and has bloomed prolifically. Here's a link to a profile I did on the plant.
