Way to go you guys! Great growing! Say speaking of spikes....Sue did your Laelia Santa Barbara Sunset ever bloom? Mine arrived from Parkside with 3 spikes 2 of which blasted shortly after arriving. I have one remaining that I had to release from it's sheath(s). I didn't hold out much hope for it blooming but when I went to water it today it looks like it may actually bloom out.  I had to release 6 sheaths over the course of about 3 weeks to get it going again. I hope it will actually go the distance. It's really been teasing me.  |

Oh bummer! I have 3 new growths too. The whole thing needs to be repotted in the worst way. I have clear plastic pots of all different types & sizes coming from Quarter Acre. It's growing lots of new roots. Too bad they don't have anywhere to go!  |

A safe and fun journey to you, Ross!
Did you re-instruct your son to water your orchids .. carefully?  |

Yup, he did good! Funny thing is, I don't get away with any damage on "his 'chids" any longer! |
