Florida Report














Here's another report and photo from the Florida bureau of the Woodland Valley blog. Many thanks to our anonymous correspondent.

"Our brief cold snap has been forgotten for now, but we know you guys could send us another anytime. This week has been 78-80 degrees and beautiful. If I could pack up this weather and bring it up I'd be up there in a heartbeat! My Orchid blossoms don't like change when they are developing. Even bringing them in the house to protect from cold temps is rough. The dry hot air heat causes all kinds of damage on its own. The orchid blossoms I share today (cattleya "candy tuff") survived with minimal damage (you can see a little around the edges of the opening blossom) and they have opened to give a great show and unlike many orchids, the fragrance is amazing."
