On the other hand, my Praying Hands, Goldfinger, and Ice Cream all came through fine unprotected at 27F. Ice Cream definitely endured 24F with psuedostems intact (I can't speak for PH or GF as they weren't part of my collection when it reached 24F).

Of course, microclimates can have an effect, but I'm talking about if all things are held equal.

So, does anyone want to weigh in on the D. Namwah?

Thanks! Nate
I say D.Namwah is right up there with Goldfinger or pretty darn close
