Thanks again, Rob. I knew what you meant, though.

Interesting. Those are really superb roots. Way, way better than any orchid I have bought, that's for sure. To me that's surprising. I would have thought that the professional growers ought to produce plants with the best roots, but several of the plants I have bought look as though the roots were stepped on. I wonder why that is.
