I live in Key Largo, FL. It was 78 degrees today. I rode my motorcycle to work and I was not cold.

I have tomatoes and peppers still growing, one of my orchids outside is still growing its spike and is about to bloom.

Hope you all are having a good day!

Glad that you can ride your cycle, have tomatoes and peppers still growing, have an orchid spiking outside & be warm still

Have a nice day back!

I found an orchid and I need to know how to clean it up/ trim it. I posted in the care section, and it won't let me post a link to the pictures here

Hello and welcome!
I am rather envious of such beautiful weather!
Outside it is fairly warm here for this time of year at 35'F/2'C outside. The snow is melting and will soon be gone before it gets cold again next week. Everything green is growing under lights or in a window.

Welcome to the OB! I'm certainly jealous of your delightful weather. Here in Atlanta it gets less pleasant at times.

Welcome to orchidboard! I'm quite jealous, here it's cold and very, very rainy, my plants don't like the short daylight hours, and the motorcycle is sitting in the parking lot, waiting for spring...

Posting images has gotten very hit or miss for new members. Normally you need 5 posts before being able to add photos, and if you still can't, the photos are too big. If you've been trying to add several, then try adding only 1-2 at a time. If that fails, a lot of people here started using this: ImgBB — Upload Image — Free Image Hosting
No account required, just upload a photo and it spits out a bbcode to paste into your post.

Welcome to the board. I am dreaming of my tomatoes and peppers for next year. It's going to be below zero by the middle of the week. Burrrrrrrrrrrr

Welcome! And lucky, lucky... I thought moving from Cleveland to California would give me the warm temps I need to survive. Except I lived in San Francisco, so that didn’t work out for too long. So I figured I would move to New Orleans. And then it snowed last week... Sounthern Florida here I come!
