Hi All,

Sorry been busy at work and with the GH doing so well, I haven't had to worry about it so much. I've been patiently waiting for the few in spike to bloom.

Bert, yes it has been hot. I remember the days when I had to rush to move the orchids around. We used to move them outside the SH during the summer and put them on the fence. Then started the "musical orchids" dance. Rolling on the floor laughing

I have to say that the investment in the aluminet for the GH was absolutely worth every penny. I am still getting great light while it is reflecting the heat away. I know you don't have a GH, but you might want to invest in an aluminet tented area. You could just rope it around a few trees.

Hope to see you today at the MOS meeting!! Green Growers starts at 1pm and regular meeting is at 2pm.
