Georgeous, Bree. I love the red and green.

Lindsey, I removed the orchid from the palm during cold nights and took it into the garage. The bottle palm, also tender to the cold, is in half a whiskey barrel that rests on a piece of plywood with wheels on the bottom. I just roll it into the covered area of the lanai by the sliding glass doors that go into the house and cover it with a blanket. It is not happy at times but always survives.
