A Sad Day For Me :(

[Gage]

Well, I drove 45 minutes out to Dan an Margie's today, only to realize that they were at the show in Coral Gables. Duh. Ok, so I can go back in the next few weeks, no big deal. Nevertheless dissapointing. So then I was watering my Phals tonight and I saw the new leaf of my Phal Sogo Manager looking ever so slightly pale in linear blotches, and I thought virus. I only have 1 test but I decided to use it on this one. It came out positive for both viruses! Sad! I love that orchid and I was really looking forward to those yellow blooms. And what's worse is now I'm wondering what else might be infected. This is the third orchid I have tossed because of virus. The other two were Dendrobiums that I bought at the same time, so I assumed they had both been infected when I got them. Now where do I start? I mean I have like forty-something orchids, so do I make my next investment be virus testing for the whole lot? Every keiki too? That would be like $250 by my reconning, unless somebody knows where I can get them cheaper than 5 bucks a pop. But I don't really see much choice right now. Can someone offer a glimmer of hope?
