Wish I knew any more what "normal" is... our "normal" summer (from the time that I was a small child) was cool, damp late spring ("May gray, June gloom") brightening to warm, bright July with maybe 3 weeks of hot humid weather in August. The last two years, the August pattern started in late June and persisted until mid-October. So maybe that is the new normal. Then the dry winds... hot and dry in October/November, now more like cool and dry with the occasional bit of rain. The orchids are challenged.... I just now getting some decent Cymbidium spikes. In a normal year I would be staking Cym spikes by October, usually starting sooner. Interesting, the L. anceps are pretty much on schedule - their blooming must be triggered by day length which of course is always the same pattern. Cyms, on the other hand, are looking for the night time temperature drop, which the last two years came two months late.
