Great start for the month! I love all of them.

This will probably be all I have blooming in Oct. Have a few sheaths but we're expecting winds and high temps again this weekend, after 2 weeks of perfect weather. Had to turn these for photos, as they are reaching for the sun. After one or two spikes at a time since spring, Gerberara snow ballet is happily blooming now, though the sun does fade it fast, and Zygo redvale 'fire kiss' has 7 spikes.

Those brown leaves in the background are Coel. mooreana. Coel. barbata looks even worse. They don't like city water at all!
