Thanks, they really are impressive, aren't they? Even mediocre specimens (like mine) are breathtaking. Lows in the teens, eh? If that's true, I may be home free. My recent acquisition is close to 24" and currently resides in a large pot under a tree on my front patio. It receives less than an hour of direct sun early in the morning, followed by several hours of heavily filtered sun. I'm watering once per week, now that it's largely recovered from the yellowing brought on by full morning sun. But, as Greg alluded to, this plant may just hold its nose no matter what I do, if it won't acquiesce to harsh desert conditions I have no control over. I'll give it my best shot and hope a share a story like yours a little while down the road.
