Sue.....FYI: today was high 61, down tonight to 31!!!!!!!!!!,(turned on the heat), high tomorrow 51.....this is our winter and it's hitting me! We might get down in the high 20's a couple of days each winter, but usually don't have too many long freezing nights. My little Vanda orchid is hanging outside on my deck - with brand new flower growth sprouting up to the sky, with my big, healthy, old staghorn fern I raised from a baby about 16 years ago. It's too cold for me to go out and grab Vanda.....I think the fence will help cut the cold which can be a problem for them. Staghorn is way too heavy and big for me to move. Can't even cover now! I just ck'd the weather before closing up and to my surprise! Thought you'd get a kick out of this. Me and my Florida plants have a 'chill'.
Interestingly, this is really late for me to be up! I've been going to bed each night since 2018 anywhere from 5:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. But, only the last couple months have I been staying up until this late. It's 10 and I'm still downstairs! Amazingly wonderful! Have a good night.

Well, Vanda and Staghorn Fern did just fine. It must have gotten down to freezing at our airport, but I'm across the river and a bit south, so we don't get the harsh temps as much. Today, it was lovely. Up to 57. Down tonight in the 30's again. When Vanda bursts into bloom, I'll send you a pic. I can't seem to get warm inside....heat's on, but I don't have a fireplace. Wish I did. Love that feeling, just hate the work! Stay well, warm and enjoy the evening!
