Ceci, welcome to our main thread! Settle in and get comfortable. By the way, I spent 8 years living and traveling in South America and my wife is from Peru.
Ursula, thanks for the lead. I'll check it out right after this post.
Carol, nice center piece for your table! I love your Max. picta.
No freeze or frost last night so all of the tropicals are fine. 53 degrees in the OC this morning. The windows are open now and the plants are enjoying some fresh air.
Ada Keiliana X Odm. triumphans is blooming nicely. I love the markings.
Bollopetalum Midnight Blue 'Cardinal's Roost' has opened both flowwers.
My Dendrobium nobile hybrid is covered with blooms with the first of them just opening. The plant is three to four feet high and about that wide. I'm not sure I can get it to a show.
Jim
