I think I am going to bring my orchids out near the pond next year. I think the humidity will do them some good. I don't get racoons but heron! They are such jerks! They got four of our koi this year!
I also got a Sharry Baby this year and it is about to bloom for me for the first time. It has 2 spikes. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it is as lovely as yours!
