Pleione season starting in Pacific Northwest 2015

[haika]

Just a couple weekends ago, I checked my overwintering Pleiones in the garage and found that several had advanced floral shoots and the beginnings of this years roots.....so it was repotting time. Some years I just leave them in the same compost but this year I renewed 80% of the pots and top dressed with lawn moss, which has worked well for me in the past. Here is P. Katmai which I got last year from The Gardens at Post Hill.
