It is certain that as rainy season arrives, such moistened air can indeed make a home feel cool. If you go into detail about cool air, and its ability to hold on to moisture and then add heat from a furnace, such moisture then is more intense. Warm air holds more water. Sometimes where rooms are situated, how air is allowed to pass through and around, can affect a room if there is a direct route to an outside door. A burning fireplace draws air from the room its in, and will draw air from surrounding rooms. This often can cause cold air at the bottom ..at floor level, to feel cool on legs and feet. The fire must have air and will steal it from wherever it can. This is why some fires it is prescribed to open a window a crack. Houseplants, if they number many, can put some effect into a room with the moisture they contain....but really, they'd have to be in numbers to make such difference. I cant believe a couple, even a few, could make such a difference you'd feel it. Mind you, its a way to give moisture to a plant by giving it company of others. Where air vents supply heat to a room and another room is in direct course to the vent, I think it can affect the two rooms. Plants put in direct path of such air, will definitely feel the effect and depending on how close, can be adversely affected. In that regard, just raising the plant by placing on a table, or pedestal or hanging up, will prevent any harm. Where it feels cool, put on a sweater and think of others experiencing deep freezes and snow....lots of snow. But today, it got up into the fifties...people are out in shorts can you believe.

No, there was no way I was going to release him. Just wanted to make sure he wouldn't hurt himself in a small container. He seemed to do fine, and I'll release him this morning when it warms up a bit more.

You were fortunate to get such good photo's. I went out early before church and got a few. Some weren't open yet and when I got home, the rains came..in buckets so everyone I didn't take a photo of, was beat to death. Destined To See looks really good and Gilded By Grace is strutting. A 5" bloom is a really good one on her. As always, PSM does light things up and Lord Of The Wind is a favorite here. Ellie

Not at all. Commercial Jack O'Lantern producers sometimes plant as late as July. (I know this to be true for Central NJ.) George
