You're certainly more brave than I am! Heat packs, huh? Clever. Like the little hand-warmers we used to use for skiing would probably be great, but they only last about 6 hours. Wonder what your delivery guys think when they pick up your package and it's warm?? You're sure they haven't got you on some watch list?? LOL.

Still, you must be paying up the wazoo for those puppies. I'm finding one of the most valuable things I've learned from growing orchids is patience. I've got one that's had buds coming along on it for almost 2 months. We've had great weather, high 70's in the daytime and 60ish at night so perfect for the 'chids, but it sure makes them move slow! It's agonizing to wait, but good for the soul . . I guess.

How 'bout some pictures of your beauties? You must have a few in bloom by now. You could show them off on the Orchids forum - the December thread has some fabulous pictures already.
