And a beautifully colored Jackfowliera Apple Blossom (to replace the older one I threw out today after trying to revive it all winter).

We also have freeze warnings here tonight. It is so cold today, I believe it. The garage is now filled with plants and I will cover the C&S tightly grouped on the deck. I am so glad the Orchids were still inside. I had already yesterday taken all Rhipsalis and Hoyas etc back inside since they were swaying in the howling winds we had here.
Anyway, I need some hot Chocolate right now. I locked myself into the cage by mistake, the lock mechanism was stuck and not to be moved with hangers etc. My neighbor heard me after about half an hour, I was way too lightly dressed for this adventure. Not a good thing....

OMG, I'm so glad you have neighbors. I'm not sure what would happen here! How did you unlock it?
I'm pretty freaked about the frost. It will be for 2 nights here and many of my peonies are budded up.

I've decided this is a miniature Zygonisia cynosure! But I can't find one anywhere online.

Polystachya paniculata, the individual blooms measure about 4-5 mm.

And I thought you had trouble blooming Epi Mabel Kanda 'Green Leaf'! Looks great. Wonderful Polystachya paniculata! These both would be great in the database since I don't have either!

Will do! Smiling
You know, the first year or so the Mabel Kanda looked just awful. I didn't think it would survive. But, I didn't have the heart to throw it out yet. I cut all bad leaves off, repotted it and gave it one more chance.
