Re: Hardiness

I don't grow this one personally, but if it is in a container, why not move it 
under shelter or into the house overnight?  If it is in the ground, and has 
already handled the cold we had back in November, I wouldn't be all that worried 
about it.  Drape a cardboard box over the plant if you want to be cautious.  I 
find it a bit hard to believe that they are really talking about snow down to 
500 feet or lower with this next storm, and am feeling pretty blase about 
protecting tender plants in my own garden.  I was kind of amazed to hear from a 
neighbor that there was snow up on Grizzly Peak Road the other morning early, 
which is less than 1000 foot elevation, and he also said that it was 32F at his 
home that morning, and he is only 6 blocks away from me.  In my own 
block/garden, there hasn't been any sign of frost since early December.  I hope 
I am not singing the blues next week, because I have lots of tender things such 
as Bartlettina sordidum just getting ready to start blooming, and still some 
Cannas blooming as well.

I know this isn't necessarily a medit climate plant, but we are heading into
a very cold period this weekend and I cannot find anything about the
hardiness of a Euphorbia now called Monadenium stapelioides.  It's from
Africa and that's all I can find.  Does anyone know?
