All are beauties Kathy, I love the subtle shading in Phrag Carol Kanzer. It is the camera that I am replacing. I have never been happy with the way it captures some of the colors and its over exposure of tight in shots and in bright light or with flash.

Most of the year my vitellina lives in the basement grow room under lights, temperatures would range from low of 65F at night in winter to max of 80F through day with lights on in summer. It grows under the same lights as used for Catt. and Onc. alliance. I don't think it likes the cold too much as I lost some leaves last year that were closest too window during a cold snap while it was blooming on window sill. The leaves weren't even touching the glass, at least 2" away and they turned black, so I keep it away from the cold now. It is too bad that your buds blasted as they can bloom on for months being sequential, mine lasted for 5 months last year.

The postman just delivered my new camera. Hurray!
