Gosh.. you have done well. You always do get few casualties anyway but majority of your plants look good.
My GH's are like freezers without heating..and like today we've had -3 even during day, there is no chance anything tender surviving without heating.

My biggest surprise, Goodlife, after all the -degrees (maybe about -5 last night)  was the osteospermums still putting up a fight in flower!

Yes it is suprise..but many things are suprisingly hardy as long as the compost is kept fairly dry...just enough moisture to survive. Once the rootball goes solid, they've had it. You must have kept the compost just right ;D ;)
