Steve,
This winter was the roughest my Sarrs have ever gone through (in my care). For some reason, it hit the purps hardest (30-50% lost) and right now the jury is out on my 'Adrian Slack' (it's still green but nothing is sprouting from any of the growth points). The 'Reptilian Rose' has sprouted but the only pitcher is severely deformed (aaargh).
The only reason I wasn't constantly whining all winter was that Johnny looked to be having an even worse one. My Sarrs overwinter in the garage & regularly freeze solid in Jan/Feb most years. Given that, I didn't expect to see issues with them come spring - wrong.
On a non-CP related note -- this winter was the 1st in 10-20 years where the snow stayed on the ground all winter (from the 1st snow). Typically, we have a few days of above-freezing temps that melt the stuff - not this year. About 15 years ago, we built a pergola over our deck to provide shade. One of the vines we planted was a wisteria that eventually covered the pergola & gave us hundreds of beautiful blooms drooping down from above each spring. With the constant snow cover all winter, apparently mice got hungry in their tunnels and girdled the wisteria trunk. We now have a huge mass of dead sticks over our deck -- aaaargh.
