I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Well...

My weather alarm just informed me that we're in a Tornado Watch!

Aw shucks! Now I am so embarrased at complaining about the cold! All I have to do is shovell. Tornadoes are not fun (we get 'em up here occasionally). Stay safe and by all means get over to Miami. We're counting on the photos!

I didn't get hit, but someone 5 houses down the road got hit bad. They have their house, but all 3 of their barns got hit, 2 of them gone. The other one got hit but is still standing. I even heard that one. It sounded like thunder that never stopped.

puddin, where are you?

We had a doozie of a storm go through here earlier!

A tornado touched down in New Port Ritchey which is just south of me and another touched down in Weeki Wachee...about 3 miles from me!

I'll take SNOW anyday!!!

Storm has gone through, moved through at 55 mph but the sky is still looking funky and the watch is in effect till 10pm...so far

Default We did the tornado shuffle here a few years ago

and it scared me pretty well. I had to go out at 4 a.m. this morning and turn the heaters up in the greenhouse as it was 4 degrees. I don't like either one of them, personally.
