You're sure right about the strange year, Patty. My plumerias are putting out buds too. Not losing too many leaves yet as it sure hasn't been very cold so far. Let's hope we don't get zapped with a cold night before they make it to blooming!
Love those Brassavolas, Brenda. They're one of my favorites, just love that elegant shape not to mention the scent.
Jim, that yellow/red Spathoglottis has to be my favorite of them all. That's the one I nicknamed "opal' because it seems to change color so nicely - starts out distinctly red and yellow and fades through ivory to almost white/purple. They're such fantastic bloomers once they get going, too.
