Growing Cymbidiums in the house

[orchids3]

Was thinking about my spring signal to put the plants out (vandas and cymbidiums)in Connecticut, it was the snakes.. When they came out to sun themselves in the spring - it was time to put the orchids out. When you see the snakes going to their over winter caves or hollows, take the orchids in. If you are in tune with nature this will make sense to you.

Sounds reasonable to me Bob, however we obviously do not have the snake population you had. I live in the country on 20 acres and probably see 2 - 3 snakes all season (THANK GOD), so a good gauge for you at the time, here not so much, guess it depends where you are. Now a thought might be when the toads and frogs start appearing and disappearing here...will have to pay more attention to that.Thanks.
