That Mexican KeyLime tree freeze

I am very concerned for my Mexican KeyLime tree. This winter storm that lasted 1 wk was really harsh on my citrus trees. They're all too big so I couldn't put them in the house, but I did my best to protect them from the cold. 
Photo 1- The first day I uncovered them and placed them back on their spot, they looked ok. 
Photo 2 - The following day it looked a little more yellow. 
Photo 3 - Today it looks unbelievable!

Praying this tree makes it. The two avocados (12 yr & 2.5 yr) didn't make it.
This one is special because I grew it from seed many many years ago. From some limes my granny brought from her very own tree, at her house in Mexico. 
I did plant seeds from some she brought this last fall, and I did plant the seed from a lime THIS one produced THIS year finally after 11 years. 
We will see what happens in a few weeks. I am hopeful.

Meyer Lemon Tree

Little Panchita the Bee is back with 3 of her BFF's. Tony's Meyer Lemon is so full of flowers, it's crazy! They're all starting to open so it smells SO good, especially if the wind blows. 
3.16.2019 is its DOB so it isn't even the old.  It'll be 2 this year and already I have harvested so many lemons from it.
It'll need to be repotted because our outgrew its pot. Maybe once spring gets here. I don't wanna mess with the lemon flowers right now.

Golden Pothos

Kitchen Window

Variegated String of Hearts

Meet my Pepa, or Pompeyo? I originally called her Pepa because she's pink, but for some odd reason this little pot reminds me of a little clown face. I guess that's why I started calling it Pompeyo instead. 
Anyway,  I bought a clipping on Etsy of the VSOH's then saw that it did 'work' so I went off and bought another 2. I did the butterfly method to propagate,  that worked wonders imo. 
(12.99 each clipping plus shipping x's 2)
I had heard they're slow growers, but to me they grow pretty decent. 
I am loving this little plant more and more as it grows. I am glad I decided to order another 2 clippings to give the little pot a fuller look.
I have the regular SOH's but they don't catch my eye as much as these do.
I just love the variegation on them leaves. I got these September 2020 as just clippings, and we're February 2021. Let's see how he'll look from here to this next September when he turns 1.
