Sherry, My Yahoo weather report on Crescent city almost always shows you have cloudy, gloomy, cold, and even rainy days there... and yet, your garden pictures tell another story: all blooming everywhere and bright, shinny, beautiful!
I only have this Zygo orchid acquired last month keeping its blooms indoor until now and hopefully a bit longer...
Oh, and this AV now gives its 4th time of bloom this year...
