At the moment, I'm going through another spell of being unenthused with plants, mostly because it's been cool again here and I've spent a bunch of time and energy putting them out in the morning, watering like mad so I can be finished before it's too cold to have them outside, and then dragging them all back in again. And even then, I've still damaged a couple. (Whatever the books and websites say about the cold tolerance of Aloes, don't believe it.)
So posting might be kind of light for a while, at least until it warms up a little. Not that I'm complaining about having cooler temperatures, goodness knows.

As for today's orchid, these are pretty lousy pictures, but my camera finds black/white contrasts challenging sometimes. I found some much better photos on another blog, which the reader may find of interest.

It is probably not my place to suggest but why don't you just wait until all possibilities of cold nights will go by. I usually wait until mid-June to take some of my orchids outside here in Canada. They were inside several long months surely they can wait few weeks more.
I like angraecums but didn't have much success with the one that I had sesquipedale...

Because I don't know when that will be. Last freeze date for us is mid-May, but nobody bothers to identify a last 60F/16C date.
Gosh...that sux so bad..I'm sorry..its such a pain..even down here in Georgia I had to do some of that..we'd have a great week and then a plummet. ..in fact two nights ago it was 47° that for us is unheard of this time of year.. we had some 30 something nights this month too..again this is georgia...I have a great covered patio...told them all to just snuggle up...just crazy...feeling your pain I am! Hang in ...warmer days are comin'....I hope...
