Re: Astrophytum ornatum
Astrophytum Ornatum, approximately 4 feet tall at Zilker Garden in Austin, Texas. The first picture was before the February 2021 freeze. The next two photos were after it went through rain, ice, snow, 5 days straight below freezing, and two nights of 6-7*F unprotected. Damaged, but so far a survivor a month later. As a reference it had seen 15*F and ice years prior to this with minimal damage, as indicated by the first photo.
