It was 38C in my greenhouse at 12 noon today despite all vents and doors being open and 3 fans running.
Not so nice for the orchids, but the Avonias seemed to like it.
You can almost set your watch by them...
At noon, A. harveyi and A. albissima
A. quinaria ssp alstonii and A. dinteri are snoozing
At 2pm harveyi and albissima are closed for the day, but A. dinteri is open for business
At 4pm A. quinaria ssp alstonii finally opens
Finally (this one was taken on another hot day, 21st May) at 5pm, A. papyracea
A Good Day for Avonias

Re: A Good Day for Avonias
Fun to watch them all come out in sequence. Mine either don't all flower on the same day, or I don't have the patience to catch them.
