Wow, quite the journey getting there. Two questions for you:
– How many survived the snowstorm? 100%? 50%?
– Are those Aloinopsis/Delianthe in the back?

So many mesembs can take frost so long as they thaw during the day. I’ve seen pics of Conophytum covered in snow and also sitting in rock pans literally submerged in water. Obviously it depends on the species, but so many of the plants we love to grow are super hardy and can take some real extremes.
