south-facing wall, and are beginning to send up new growth.

It will be interesting to see if these survivors do as well as this
year's new plants.
I have an autumn calendula which survived the winter and is now a neat burhy plant somthered with bright orange flowers jarring horribly with the nearby purple aubretia and dark red mossy saxifrage.
