Monthly Status Reports - Including November reports

[Ross]

I too was looking over the 'chids as I watered and discovered the Aerangis citrata has a new second spike! First one is only about 8-10" long (it can get to 16" so I read). Aerangis hyaloides has maybe 6 or more spikes just starting and the Cischweinfia sheehanae that has been in spike has added many more - I think the count is now up to 12! And these guys are supposedly fragrant. All the other spiked plants are still on schedule and still growing.

I'm not sure what to do on this thread I have a lot going on now but Nov. is almost over should I wait and post on Dec. 1st for that month. Jim.
