Jasen,
Thanks for the wonderful story. Dorothy linked me to it, b/c 3 weeks ago my grandmother passed away - she was my link to a green thumb and my wonderful friends took up a collection to give to me to purchase an orchid as a memorial.
A strange and wonderful gift....help?
Now I have this wonderful opportunity to investigate a new addition to my greenhouse, but I expressed my concerns in my post. Also, I have really appreciated your input on flasking.....I am about to get up the nerve to try, again. The pod awaits!
wish me first good luck with the germination... still a couple of month before I can start with it 
I made the cross on May, 9th 2008 (my mother's birthday)
