I just don't know whether I should take the chance that my orchids will be harmed/killed even though the temperature will only be in the 40's for a few hours (then warming up to the 70's) and then a repeat the next morning. After those two nights/mornings, the temperature is back up to more normal ranges. I have never brought them in this early but then again, I have never left them out with even brief temperatures that low.

As I said, I am not worried about the plumeria. They should be fine and the low temps. will only speed up their dormancy.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
