Nelumbifolia

We seemed to have made it through last night's cold snap unscathed, though I haven't looked under the protective plastic sheet I put over Burly Marx philodendron. They are very cold sensitive, anything near the upper 30's will burn them, mid 30's and KO. The past 2 years had a number of nights near freezing and Fort Lauderdale has fewer Burly Marx around town to show for it. The Plumeria looked wilted, I was afraid it had gotten bit, but it revived by the end of the day, after a 3 gal bucket of water. The begonias are all fine.
