I used this plant for my horizontal and vertical plant cuttings and I'm surprised to find that they're still alive! It's located right outside of Comstock Hall.
I found this guy right by the entrance of my apartment. I assume the plant is still surviving with the help of the plants around it.
This little plant was found underneath a pine tree in the backyard. The base of the plant has also been surrounded/buried in fallen leaves. I'm guessing that a combination of shelter from the leaves and the pine tree has helped this thing survive.
This plant was found along the eastern wall of the house. I'm not exactly sure why it's still green other than that it must be fairly hardy. This plant, like the previous one, is also half covered in fallen leaves. Perhaps the insulating effect of these leaves has also helped this plant out a bit.
This was next door to my last group of plants. Again, I'm guessing that it is an adaptation on the leaves that keeps them alive.
These guys are still very green. Is it due to some sort of protective coating? This was next to a nearby church in a garden.
I found the plant below right outside Coffman Union. I think it is still alive because it gets a lot of sunlight and it was most likely potted in good potting soil. Also, the University tends to take good care of its plants, so it is probably very healthy and resilient.
I found the plant above near Northrop Mall. This plant is in between buildings so it probably gets some protection from the cold wind. Additionally, it was planted by the University so it is well taken care of. This plant looks very healthy so it probably is just very strong and able to deal with the cold weather.

This is lettuce that I planted late in the season on the east side of my garden. It is surrounded on three sides by my house but the sun can still get to it. The is a blanket of leaves around what is left of the row. All look very healthy like this one. Another reason they might be alive is because I planted them with really good potting soil, and lettuce doesn't like too much heat so it's still looking good with temperatures above freezing and enough rain.
This plant is living under the trees in my back yard. It too is blocked from the wind and the sun still hits it when it's low in the sky. The leaves are coarse and strong and the stem is strong as well, I think it's just a really resilient plant that can withstand cold weather.
This plant sits on my neighbor's front steps. It is barely hangingo on, as the edges of some of the leaves are turning brown. This plant does not get the best sunlight but it is potted in select soil and is brought indoors some times. These are the only explanations I can come up with for its survival through the cold weather thus far.
I found this plant in my neighbor's front yard. It is definitely still alive and kicking, even though the small plant next to it is very much so dead. I think it is still hanging on because it is an older plant and my neighbor's take good care of their garden areas. There was a lot of rain earlier this season which may contribute to its lifespan and the sun beats on it a good four hours a day.
