    Lightbulb Saving the Outdoor Orchids

    As stated in other postings, it is way to cold for the orchids to stay outdoors. I did set up a 4 ft. T-5 light over my bathtub. While it isn't really enough light for long term growing, it sure beats freezing to death. I also had some room on the orchid shelf under lights for a few others and a couple that were still in bloom. Fridays weather should be warm enough for these kids to go back outside, I hope. Take Care,Rich
