ok, now i am even MORE insanely jealous than i was before. How I keep managing to kill these poor creatures I don't know (not over-watering, I think).

I am glad that both your plants and your kittehs have such a skilled and caring mom!

It's also hard to grow them in your climate. They probably would like to be misted constantly in your dry air, but not watered more frequently, so it's a tough balance. Our constant humidity here is good for tropical plants, as long as the room temps are warm enough.

Thank you, bb. *bows*

sigh. I'm sending my One Orphan Orchid to you. Be watchin' the post.......

(at least my hydrangea is (about) to bloom. And the orchid DOES still have leaves. Just no blooms or indication there ever will be any!)

No mailing orchids! That is sure to make one sick or dead plant.

When did it last bloom? They usually only bloom once a year, and some years they skip.
