I am very sorry ALESkA , i almost did it again. I am sure there is a member named Alaska or maybe short for Alaska girl.
I discovered about 5 sheets on my Iwan apple blossom, 1 on my prost Cochleata some where at the beginning of september and nothing still! I decided to assume that they are waiting for spring. The plants look healthy and are producing serious roots and new growth in case of the prost cochleata.
I have a similar story. I bought my first Cattleya in December and it has just given me three awesome blooms. I hope this chilly front (40 deg. low) we've been having in S. Florida isn't going to be a problem. Input anyone?
