OK, does this Turbi count? It was alive here, but I think it eventually was done in...

I make it a habit NOT to take pictures of plants that are in deep trouble, but here's one from last winter's freeze. Pachypodium lamerei

Euphorbia ammak with a little freezer burn
It was seriously damaged in the Great Freeze of 2007, losing all of its peripheral tissue. But it has refused to die, and has made lots of new branches, and branches on branches. It's a survivor, but will never be beautiful again.

There were plenty, Michiel, since this year we had no summer, but I never make pictures of them. Too sad...
