My feelings and amateur data shows that orchids bloom at a specific
temperature of their host ground/rock/bog each species having different
requirements. I studied mostly the Cypripediums.
As for rocks conducting heat before the ground releases heat, well I was always
given to understand that granite and any dark surface draws the sunlight and
heats up faster. Every spring we look for early blooming Mayflowers near
granite rock faces and out croppings and that is where we are most successful.
I am not discounting the heat coming from the inside of the earth but I also
wanted to state my observations too.
