    Default Fragrant blooms

    2 of my catts bloomed for the first time this week with wonderful fragrances!!! I walk into the shade house, avoid the spiders & get lost in the smell of heaven

    Default temps

    We have temp at 74 at night (hot flashes), but up to 77 during the day.
    My daughter has her temps lower & brings in budding orchids & they bloom...
    Hmmm...

    Nice colours Val.
    I'd bring them inside regardless, that way I'd probably enjoy them more.
