Oh Carp, the cold is coming....

[gsytch]

I'm in Tampa Bay, New Port Richey coastal area just N of Tarpon Springs. It was 30F this morning but no frost as it was too dry. The high yesterday was 47F with a stiff wind. Today was 53F and VERY dry. Many of my orchids were placed on the ground and covered with frost cloth. I do this every year. They pull through fine, even with last year's cold. My Vandas and Phals are either in the somewhat heated covered house OR inside. My Epidendrums flooded my Florida room as some are so big they cannot fit anywhere else. Here is a pic of one area! I hate winter, but it has been so warm it makes this cold event even more shocking :-)). Greg
