Thanks. I need to remember to mulch this later this fall and hope it continues to thrive and multiply.

I have a friend who has grown a number of outdoor slipper orchids in pots. I think if they can get a good chill over winter on a balcony but not freeze real bad right thru the pot they would be fine. We get -40 here so the ground does freeze some although usually there is a good snow cover which helps protect them.

Ouch, that sucks.
