I think that it might be the first time that a Clinostigma savoryanum has flowered in Texas. This one seems to do very well for me. Has survived an ice storm at 29 degrees for 12 hours.

wow.  That is an accomplishment.

 

Land O Lakes FL, a suburb on the North Side of Tampa, FL

Summers are great, 90f/32c in the day & 70f/21c at night with plentiful rain & sun

Winters are subtropical with occasional frosts and freezes. Tropical cyclones happen.

We have a few Royal palms in the warm microclimates but Coconuts freeze.

I am a Kayaker, Hiker, Bicyclist, and amateur Photographer that loves the outdoors.

That's not a good clino for me... weird--the others seem to be much better growers for me, though I put mine in the shade and that might be a no-no...

Very nice. Clinostigmas are said to hate my alkaline sandy soil, so I've avoided them. If that weren't an issue it sounds like some of them might have some cold tolerance.

 It is great to see the edge pushing  going on in Texas.  I believe at South Texas has only seen the beginning of the tropical palms that can be grown and it gives many the opportunity to become the first and best.

This should take nothing away  from those enthusiasts throughout the entire state, who constantly amaze me with the Chilean Wine and other varieties in the more  Northern areas of the state. "You don't mess with Texas"!
