If you need any succulents or cacti cuttings I can send you some.
Or if you need something specific I have a wonderful selection nearby.
I have lots of jade plant too....
Lots. Too much. So if that died... take mine.
Jade vine is tropical vine with bright turquoise flowers. Pretty cool.
Here's those flowers you missed.

So pretty. I would love to replace the jade if it is dead. I have tried growing jade many times and this is the first time that I not only didn't kill it, but it was thriving! I had at least 11 clusters starting on the plant.

If the weather ever moderates I can send you some paph seedlings to help you on the road to recovering your damaged collection.

While it's heartbreaking to hear about the loss of your orchids, it's also heartening to see so many people wanting to help you rebuild your collection. I would have gladly sent you some of my spares if I were living in the USA.
I hope you'll have some survivors though...

I have to agree that it is amazing how plant lovers are always willing to help and share. I will gladly rehome plants when shipping is advisable. After the death toll can be counted, I intend to collect the tags of those I want to truly replace and start the search. Yesterday I felt like just opening the door to the greenhouse and letting the winter finish what it had started. But, after seeing all of the love and generosity on here, I will start anew. Thanks to all of you who took a moment to care!

I started the cleanup in the "graveyard" today. It was so sad. I did find a few things that had some growths that MAY make it. Giving some of them a few more days or so to see if they turn completely to mush or if by chance they may have a bit of life in the rhizome. I have saved all the tags from the ones that are definitely dead. Those that have a chance to survive will be set back to their seedling stage. Life will go on.

Whew. That is rough. But in sure that at the very least, you will still be a windowsill grower. Some of us never make it past that stage and our plants still bring us joy!

Just think how great these orchids will be now that you are prepared for the worse. With the new equipment you will be installing, they will be even better than the old ones  |

You are right, Mandy. I was prepared to quit when I saw them all wilted and mushy but I have found a few that are resilient and so must I be. I will start anew and avoid the mistakes of the past.
