Kiki, Al always loves to hear from any of us and I know he really appreciates a kind word from time to time... maybe I'll go knock on his door, too!

Thanks for posting this beautiful flower. That's quite an achievement up North. Was it outdoors in the Summer?

No, I'm afraid I don't put many outdoors in the summer. I do have about 8 to 10 phals I put outdoors but on my open porch, and still they never fail to come in with bugs lurking in the fall. That takes me a couple months to debug and get them back to normal. Not a big fan of all that extra work.

It's a beauty, Kiki. I got one from Andy's as well, but I chose to get it potted. When I repotted it into my own mix it didn't seem too happy anymore. I mounted it and it took off with a flush of new roots and growths. I don't usually fare too well with mounted plants due to my growing conditions but this seems like one that really prefers it. It's in bloom right now.

Kiki, I know what it's like bringing in all those summer vacationers! But I still put stuff out all summer and in late July/early August I treat with Bayer Merit granular as a systemic so I kill off any potential grubs, etc. Then just before they come in, I spray everything with something like Bayer 3-in-1 and so far so good.... But putting stuff outside to bake is the only way I can get my Cymb and Catts to bloom!
