aww des, im so sorry to hear that, on the bright side you have the best excuse ever to go buy alot of orchids. hopefully you can rebuild your collection soon,
I have rebuilt my collection since then i have about 2000 Cymbids which i imported from OZ,but no species they are difficult to find here and because of the Cites regulations I can't import
I am getting a division in a few days and would like to pot it up right. Can anyone in the US mid west tell me how they pot theirs and what materials they use. Lrge pine bark/small, open mix or heavy one. Whats the best way to grow this species in winter and summer compared to the hydirds.
