Peel and Flip

[DebsC]

My greenhouse is full of catts in sheath! I couldn't be happier. Rewards for a hard summer of feeding, watering and babying the girls.

But, Blc Goldenzelle Passion has put the fear in me!! That sheath as black as night made me take a good look around and sure enough...there are others.

Not black ones but sheaths that have just enough of the green or dried growth cupping it that it holds water.

So I took each and every orchid in sheath down and peeled the growth back. I was so nervous!!! I was afraid just the slightest wrong move and I'd break the stem or something. It's happened before!

Does anyone else peel them back?
