South Florida is getting hot!
 Well I think it got up to 90 degrees today. At least it felt like it to me. Shouldn't it be raining every afternoon by now? My lawn is getting crispy! Orchids are dry every time I look at them. They are not happy  . How's everyone else doing?  |

Yes, this week I really felt the heat. I like it though.
All my orchids are in active growth right now or blooming, which is fabulous. But, as you say Susiep, if we could just get into the summer rainy season it would be great. Typically here on the SW coast, the rainy season kicks in in June.

50/50 chance of rain in miami, we did get some rain past couple of days enough to keep my outside orchids happy. My bike ride on the other hand was a scorcher. And I only rode for about an hour. I did ride out to RF Orchids in homestead, they sure have some nice orchids.
