I agree That's a beauty, Roberta.

Warm, overcast and windy today with a 70% chance of rain. We are getting the tail end of the big cold front that is moving through the east coast now. I wish it would rain and get it over with.

Elaine, I too have had orchids spend the night in the pool. The bad news is the floating debris and repotting. The good news is the plants will recover nicely and the soft scale will die by the thousands.

A new bloomer out in the OC is this refugee from the Republic of Schomburgkia, which you may recall was overrun by rebel boffins, scattering the residents from Mexico to South America and changing their names into incomprehensible drivel. I give you what is now called Caulaelia [Cll.] Star of Rio 'Rose' AM/AOS. The Schoms will rise again I tell you.
