Evan, the water that it's in is very small. Probably what would have helped it was the tree canopy overhead. But the length of time it stays cold probably has a big bearing on it as well. If it's cold long enough for the chill to get into the plant tissue there possibly could be damage. Last year was a mild winter. Normally July would have had those June temperatures one or two days also. This winter looks like being more normal, in that temperatures will probably bottom out a few more times. Already had a 15.8C although technically were not in winter yet.

This is a list of our local aroids, 17 of them. Over on the east coast (particularly Queensland) they have a lot more.

Amorphophallus galbra F.M.Bailey

Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.) Nicolson

Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott

Epipremnum amplissimum (Schott) Engl.
[Raphidophora australasica F.M.Bailey]

Pistia stratiotes L.

Remusatia vivipara (Roxb.) Schott

Typhonium alismifolium F.Muell.
[Typhonium brownii auct. non. Schott]

Typhonium cochleare A.Hay

Typhonium flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume

Typhonium johnsonianum A.Hay & S.Taylor

Typhonium jonesii A.Hay

Typhonium liliifolium F.Muell.

Typhonium mirabile (A.Hay) A.Hay
[Lazarum mirabile A.Hay]

Typhonium praetermissum A.Hay

Typhonium russell-smithii A.Hay

Typhonium sp. Berry Springs (P.Horsfall 1042)

Typhonium taylori A.Hay

The majority are Typhoniums but there's a revision going on now and they could be renamed Lazarum some time soon perhaps.
