Black Jewel Orchid Buds

black jewel orchid bud
I expect the cool temps in my house helped cause this. I have two separate plants now in bud, and it's been years since this happened last. My huge christmas cactus is also putting on a nice show. I guess this is an upside of being too cheap to turn the heat up yet. The reptiles have their heat lamps and their room is about 10 degrees warmer then the house, but the rest of us have been cold. I did cave a few days ago and turn the heat on for the bird, who had taken an impromptu bath in her water dish and was soaking wet. That was a nice warm day.

So I guess I need a greenhouse so I can keep chilling the plants when I finally cave on the heat.
