Rough winter for my plant collection

[HERMET]

The tornado and the subsequent power outage coupled with the below freezing temperatures entirely wiped out my greenhouse plants which are amost all tropical and subtropical. 20 years of work gone.
The only survivors where a few hardy evergreen and deciduous trees that I had put away in cold storage.
I've been feeling rather despondent about it but this week I had a nice gift from mother nature.
My dwarf apple tree has blossomed and is looking especially radiant. Apparently it really enjoyed what otherwise was a miserable winter.

Sorry buddy. You had a very nice collection. Did your woodstove in the greenhouse survive?

Thank you. It did but I really don't think I have it in me to start over.
I'll probably just convert it into storage or a little work shop.

We have had this split-leaf philodendron for 45+ years. Shortly after my Bride

passed so did her favorite plant..I kept transferring to larger pots...It's to big for me to move
