Hey all....
I went a little crazy one day and decided that I was ready to jump in and de-flask some orchids. I thought to myself, "I have killed enough plants to know what I need to do to keep them alive" (yes, serious logic there, my friends) so I decided to visit Troy Meyers and in a bout of lunacy, I reserved some flasks (read, like 100 or so). Troy, who evidently believes that I CAN do this, generously sent me two flasks for a small fee.
In any event, here are the results thus far. My first victim, i.e. orchid, that I recieved was a Laelia purpurata var. carnea 'Hihimanu' x self. After frantically running around like a chicken without a head, an emergency trip to Home Depot for more moss, several stiff drinks later (just kidding!!), and countless evenings obsessing (are my seedlings warm enough?????? Have they grown a millimeter since yesterday--I think so!!!)
Here they are...the first batch of my babies...... (wink)
