Mutant Phal

Not sure if it was the heat or what. Odd looking. Hopefully it's not a trend, since it was fine back when I bought it in bloom.

Sherlock Series

Excellent!!! Just finished watching the last in the three-part series, and I'm very happy. Very well done, very entertaining, well thought out. All the characters work, and they managed to convey a little victoriana feel to the modern setting without being ham-fisted about it.

Glad it seems well-received and popular, so hopefully that ensures a new series will be out soon.

Playing The Temperature Game

I really shouldn't be risking the cyms like this, but after that unpleasantly hot summer, I want to give them as much cold as I can. The basement is surprisingly warm still, which is disappointing. I was hoping for much cooler temps.

So it's a tightrope act between just enough cold and disaster. We're getting down into the 30s now, which I haven't subjected them to before. Have seen posts that say they can deal with that. Can't decide when to water, etc. They're set to come in next week, when I see the forecast coming for the 20s.

In addition to the tarp, have been throwing a packing quilt over them. May double that for the next couple nights.
