Lessons learned.
My wife and I bought a perfectly beautiful, if unnamed Cat at a shop in San
Jose on Saturday. It sat on the seat between us, shaded by the back of the seat. We made one stop -- less than 20 minutes. During that time, part of two leaves were in the sun. The good news is, the plant will survive. The bad news is, it will be a double amputee. My wife carefully held a newspaper over it the rest of the day. |

Sheepkeeper,
Don't rush to cut off the burned leaves. If the top layer is brown the lower levels may still be alive. They will not recover to be pretty green but they will help the plant produce food for the next growth cycle. Gene "Sheepkeeper" wrote in message om...

Rule of thumb:
If you wouldn't leave your dog in a hot place for ten minutes, don't leave an orchid there for five. Yeah, we've all learned that lesson, unfortunately! Diana "Gene Schurg" wrote in message nk.net...

Works for cold too, cue visions of our move from London, England to Dundee, Scotland at the start of December. On stopping in the Borders for the night the orchids came into the guesthouse with us instead of staying in the car and being left to the frost. Heat is not such a problem up here. Peter |
