Wow, Ursula! What magnificent specimens! They are gorgeous. Perhaps you could get one of those rolling metal racks from Costco, if they have them in your area, and roll them into the garage at night and back out again during the day.

I wish I could answer your question about your S. anthonyanus, but I've only had mine for about a year, and it hasn't flowered for me yet either. Picabo/Betty got hers to bloom: http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/89220/ and someone else did also over at the Tropicals Forum. I'll have to find that thread. I bet that it does need some winter chill to bloom. I would leave yours out as long as nighttime temps remain in the 40's. Mine stay outside all year and do just fine, but temps don't often drop below 40. I am so in love with your S. pteranthus!

I did some repotting yesterday and today, and here are some pics. I had to use the flash because it was getting late. I know the terra cotta plastic pots are kind of ugly, but I intend to give these plants to my mom eventually so I didn't want to use my good containers! LOL!
