Well, its that time of year here in central Texas. Time to get the orchids outside during the day and intermittently for the next couple of weeks, I'll bring them in at night. This year I bought a $10 rack off of craigslist so I can just pick all the plants up at night and put them all out in the morn with one fell swoop. I've also ziptied them down so they won't fall over when being moved or during a windy day.
These are my heat loving orchids such as Catt. walkeriana, nobilior, amethystoglossa, leopoldii and Stan. reichenbachiana. Most of these guys have already proven to love the 100+ degree days here in the summer, but this will be the Catt. amethystoglossa and leopoldii's first summer outside. I'm expecting success!
