Two Laccospadix australasica, clumping forms, approx 2 ft. in 1g pots, exposed to sky on a hillside in Menlo Park (CA).  Saw 28.1 deg F (right near measurement point) on the worst night (1/13).  No damage whatsover.  

I was in Barcelona, then London, and "watched" the freeze in horror from afar.  (FWIW, it was no less than 8 deg. C in London every day.)  

I'm pretty impressed, though I experienced a bit of cold when I visited the Atherton Tablelands in Nov (< 0 deg. C a couple of mornings).

Parts of the Atherton and nearby but higher Evelyn Tableland received -8C during June 2008. All the highlands in this area can be very cold in winter.
