Default Left for Dead!

and Back to life!!

I bought 6 seedlings and re-potted them. Only a week or two later one of them failed miserably and died. Poor Baby

Presto!! Before I could even throw it out I watered it alongside the others and look what's appeared!!

Baby's come back to life.

Miracles do happen then and I only gave it . . .

2 lbs of Love
6 oz Feed
1 pint water
1 lb care
2 hours talking
10 mins singing
20 mins caressing
3 kilowatts of warmth
2 bags of company
1 oz fertilizer

The 4 th Picture is what this likkle mite is going to grow up to look like.

My Oh My OH My,

I am so touched.

Today is my first day here, I only joined this forum yesterday and I have had three likes already.

I think I could get used to this.

Thank you Peeps, Hug, Hug, Huggies.

Certain Dendrobiums are a bit special like that. They can have all their leaves drop, but if they have green canes and good roots, they'll produce offshoots under the correct conditions and come right back from the brink of death.

Congratulations.

Excellent! Congratulations! I've read many times that orchids are tough plants. And this is such great example!
