Oh Shady, can I relate! I moved my draculas into the bathroom where they sit on a south-facing window sill that is strongly shaded after ~9 am...I think I live maybe 2 miles or so from the blast furnace doors and they are opening for the summer bake-off and the season my husband refers to as "Hell"...see, we do have 4 seasons! Hell just comes in the midst of summer around here! I will probably have to move the Masdevallias and some of the pleuros, soon. As a gift, spousal unit is building me an evaporative cooling unit. I am looking forward to having it. Right now, my cooling is strictly me swinging around a hose in the gh and trying not to beat my plants or drown them while cooling them off. Ah, the struggles of an addicted orchidist!!! Hang in there. Tn is so pretty, even if a touch warm and humid!
