Jim, it sounds like a practical gadget! Thumbs up

Kathy, cute Cym bloom! And take care of yourself. (Yes, opera today!)

Glad you like the cootesii too.

We got about 4-5 inches of the white stuff yesterday. I brought my Angraecum sesquipedale into the living room, using the snow as background. Tried some pictures, as one of the buds on the keiki just opened too.
I find the whole plant in bloom doesn't photograph well, since the spikes develop laterally. At least they get to rest on the leaves as the weight of the flowers tends to pull the spikes a bit. I am always amazed how thick and waxy the flowers are.
Here are some more pics.

Oh and the scent in the evening is amazing!
