Default Winter is here but my Cymbidium doesn't care!

It's just a NOID Cymbidium, but I really like it. Last year around Feb. it had 1 spike that lasted in pristine condition for months. This year I put it in the same sunny location outside all summer but by July it was already growing these bloom spikes. Sort of weird! So the flowers are just beginning to open now. I have another Cym that sat beside this one all summer that is doing more what I would expect them to do which is just now growing the bloom spikes. It will likely bloom in late winter. Oh well, I have very few blooms at the moment so am glad to see this one.

On Friday morning we woke up to 4 inches of snow so I threw in some pics of that. Kind of a contrast to see my blooms to a background of snow My Thanksgiving cactus is in bloom right on time as usual!

It is going above freezing today so much of this snow could melt.
