Well, I am back from Connecticut! While I was away we had record cold
and record SNOW here in Arizona, so I had a little unwitting experiment
in cp cold tolerance for my outdoor plants. Fortunately all my outdoor
stuff is expendable. I don't know how cold it got, or for how long;
plus I can't make much of what microclimate surrounded each plant
wherever it was placed, but here is the list; make of it as u wish::::

Pretty much killed by subzero temps:
D. montana D. natalensis U. sp. 'Venezuelia',U. calycifida, older D.
burmanii plants.
(often low-growing seedlings of these pulled through.

Plants which didn't like the cold, may have lost leaves, but survived:
D. lovellae, D. capillaris, D. burkena,

Plants which were unphased by the cold:
D. rechingeri, D. roseana, D. capensis, U. longifolia, Drosophyllum,
U. subulata, North American Droseras, pings, sarrs.
