Hello Ginger,
I called a plant nursery this a.m. the man said there are many varieties of orchid cactus, and some do better in very cold weather then others. He said generally the darker the flower the more hardy the plant is.
The one you are getting was it in the ground, or a planter container?
Do you have a covered patio, where you can keep it during the winter, or near your front door, maybe near a window inside?
You can always buy that green netting nurseries use, just make sure it has holes in it,so the plant gets air and sunlight.
I had no idea Oregon gets so cold, always thought it had moderate temperature.
I learned something new.
How long did your beautiful quilt take you to make, and when did you find the time if you had a full time job.?
With me it’s about time and energy, some days I have plenty of energy, and keep going all day long with cleaning and chores, other days not so much.
Take care,
Funcountess

@funcountess The flower on this one is creamy white. I have had it for about 12 years, and it was a rescue, in a huge pot. Our little valley seems to have its own weather pattern. Today I trimmed back two Japanese burberry bushes that flank the west facing livingroom window, and hope to get an hour or two in each day on yard work. You know, a little piece at a time.
The quilt was done in 1999. It hung in an annual show in that same year, put on by the Glendale [CA] Quilt Guild. When you have a passion to see a "mind's eye" project turn into 3D, you find the time.
