Love those paphs of yours too, Bree. If I see them at the stores, I just can't resist bringing them home, even though I know they are probably doomed by the summer heat. As you say, the flowers last a very long time, though, so that makes it possibly worthwhile. I do have one that survived the summer, but no sign of a flower spike.
Jim, we had the same squall line go by and as you say, about 5 minutes of rain. It's still warm-ish but cooling off as the wind fills in, I'm sure. Hoping it will stay above 50 here, as I do have to go out tonight, so no chance to cover everybody up.
