how much for a dead azalea?

Yesterday, I was explaining to a friend of ours how the weather in Tennessee (first the excessive warm, then the excessive cold) had had devastating consequences.

By way of illustration, I said how my mom's flowers and shrubs (she's a very accomplished gardener) had been bit hard and how the governor had asked for Federal disaster status.

Vol-in-Law: (incredulous) Federal money?, for the gardeners!?
Me: No, hon, for the farmers.
