(Some of you will remember my saga of my trip, it was a great learning experience and I loved all of the support I got from fellow TOTV'ers.) Anyway, it was August and believe it or not we traveled through many different weather conditions, from extremely hot to very cold nights but every single night, I dragged those 5 plants into the motel rooms along with the dogs, the food, beds, leashes, etc... But the ending of this long story is.... they are thriving and looking beautiful. I have had many many orchid flowers on them and this is a perfect climate to grow them on my lanai. So, if its not tooo much trouble for you, I would vote that you take them along. You won't be sorry. Let us know what you do and how the plants are doing.... thanks.
Aw Kathie... That is such a wonderful story....
