Some odd cold damage

[Kailua_Krish]

So I finally made it back to my parents place and got to take stock of what was injured in the freeze (I believe it was a little over 2 weeks ago?). It is the oddest pattern of freeze damage Ive ever had.

As you can see the leaves of both the Kerriodoxa and Chambeyronia were fried. Im wondering if this was because a blanket was thrown over them. All the spears are fine and the Kerriodoxa are already opening new leaves. As you can see most of the pothos was perfectly fine with only a few higher leaves defoliating, yet the bougainvillea defoliated completely? (The unharmed pinnate palms in the front are B. alfredi and Lytocaryum w.)

A side shot of the adjacent bed shows minor damage to Alocasia odora and no damage to the Arenga micrantha. None of my Micranthas had any damage.

This is a bed in the front which shows fried tree fern fronds and fried Arenga engleri. Whats odd about this is that my other engleri not in this bed are perfectly fine and the engleri in the back corner of this bed are much less damaged. What Im thinking is that this bed is the first part of my property that gets sun in the morning and this freeze was so late in the season that it warmed up very quickly. Ive heard other hardy palm growers say that morning sun after freezes damages palms. Could this be the cause? Another theory is that I bought all of these engleri at the same time from D'Asign source, though my others are also from there but bought 4 years prior. Maybe different seed source?

Here is a healthy Engleri (from D'Asign in 2009) with a Caryota 'himalayana'. Neither are really damaged.

Please help me out with some thoughts!

Of note the low temp was anywhere between 22-28, depending on which weather station you looked at.

None of my B. alfrediis were damaged

Either you got good beccariopboenix genes or it was nowhere near 22. Keith's is looking sad after 24 under canopy. Damage on engleri is odd to say the least

Seriously doubt it was down to 22 either. All that was damaged on the herbaceous tropicals were the leaves, as you can see stems are fully firm. Also no way Pothos looks likes that after 22...

Exposed queens and my bizzies are fine with no damage too..

Any other thoughts? Did I end up with a tropical species of Arenga?
