    It was a bit chilly yesterday morning so I left the lid on a heated propagator which I usually remove during the day.

    The thermometer soared to the top while I was at work and I came home to find 2 dead epiphyllum cutting, dead epiphyllum seedlings, two dead plumerias and a rather shrivelled looking tillandsia.

    I'm not happy.

    Part of gardening I'm afraid, Rich, we all learn from our mistakes.
