The season is coming to an end. Seems like we all go into forum hibernation until the next blooming season. Here are a couple of late blooms, the first one is Zorina the other two are NOIDS. I missed three Queen of the Night last week. Woke up to droopy blooms. I think there are still four or five buds of various varieties still around but thats about it. Now cleaning up the plants, spraying for some scale, repotting, taking cuttings and ......

cleaning up storm damage from Hurricane Iselle. 14 inches of rain and 70 mph winds. No injuries or house damage. Front third of one greenhouse demolished. Still buried under a giant evergreen tree. Probably a dozen named epi plants crushed. I posted some pics on the weather forum. If I find the remains there may be some cuttings and who knows maybe one or two will be able to grow back.

Disease, cold, heat, storms we all have our challenges.

The new greenhouse which I just finished was unscathed.

Such is life.
