Argh, Ted. Our sympathies! I'd be out misting with the hose 9 times a day in that heat!
Jim that Laelia is a gorgeous color!
B. nodosa Big Jim has 5 flowers open now. Naturally the two spikes are on opposite sides of the plant. NOID catt is just glowing away. It's not really as orange/red as it looks. More gold overlaid with hot pink.
