Early winter flowering

Lauw,
Did the flowers that were not damaged change themselves while it was
cold?
For example, I can tell how cold it is outside by seeing how tightly
the rhododendrons roll their leaves. No need to go outside or look at
a thermometer - just look out the window.

Flowers and buds OK:
Iris unguicularis, Iris bicapitata, Nerine undulata, N.
filamentosa,
Narcissus tazetta Paperwhite (N papyraceus), Crocus goulimyi,
laevigatus,
Galanthus elwesii
Interesting to see that many flowers support frost as long they are
sheltered from wind.
