February 2011.... hmm ... that winter it was cold enough just about everywhere in Canada.... even we had some sub-zero (C) temperatures....Normally we can get several years out of your annual flowers.
It's New Brunswick so it's not that bad, even in February. Last winter I didn't even need to pull out my "warm" jacket that I bought when I lived in Manitoba. Cold enough to take a photo indoors rather than go outside though!
And thank you.
