Not too bad here this morning, though overcast . Very warm yesterday and all the brugs were sagging in the unexpected warmth.
I went out the other night in the dark and was overwhelmed by the perfume of them all . They were all so beautiful in the torchlight and standing erect, unlike the daytime
Here are a few pics from this morning.

Chrissy, your FFA has opened a few of the flowers but the poor things are bruised from the wind.
I'll see how he goes when I cut him off and plant the top in a pot .
You may be right, I dont think he likes the cold
He is putting out singles as well as the doubles. The second skirt stays up inside as you see in pic !.
pic 2 is one of the single FFA flowers.

pic 3.. Senorita Rosada.. ever beautiful.

pic 4.. also so pretty.. Sweet Jaffa turning darker orange. The flowers range from 5. 6 and 7 pointers.
The perfume is nice but light.

pic 5... my first flower on Maya. This plant is out in the open in the ground.

My second coldie will hopefully flower in a few weeks. There is another coldie which puts on buds but they fall off. I am hoping it will keep at least one so I can see it flower.

Jean.
